Club Development - Support for Your Club

Busselton’s sporting clubs play an important role in creating a healthy, safe and inclusive community. The City is dedicated to providing support and resources to our clubs to ensure they are independent and sustainable.

  • information and advice (e.g. committees, marketing, finances, volunteers)
  • strategic and future planning
  • connection to State Sporting Associations and support organisations
  • support for your grant applications and fundraising ideas
