Get Out, Get Active was developed in response to recommendations from Start Playing, Stay Playing: A plan to increase and enhance sport and active recreation opportunities for women and girls - to ‘partner more proactively with local governments as a key provider of active recreation opportunities’.  Whilst the program is targeted at local governments, partnerships may be established with other organisations to ensure that projects meet the needs of the target group for this program.

Brisbane City Council invites Brisbane's sport clubs to submit applications for the Community Sport Clubs Grant Program, which has been designed to help clubs to operate more sustainably.

Council encourages applications for projects that represent long-term, cost-effective value, and result in reductions to ongoing club costs or increased income avenues.

Given that community sporting clubs have differing needs and priorities in order to reduce operational costs, Council is offering three grant categories for applications:

1. Community facility upgrade.
2. Community facility maintenance.
3. Organisational development.http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/community/grants-and-awards/community-groups-and-non-profit/community-sport-clubs-grant-program/index.htm
