NSWRL Infrastructure Strategy 2024-2028
The NSWRL Infrastructure Strategy is an essential initiative that aligns with the broader 2024-26 NSWRL New State Strategic Plan.
The strategy is underpinned by four strategic pillars and realised through 13 strategic priorities, driven by a vision to ensure all Rugby League club facilities and infrastructure across NSW and ACT are supported to enable growth in club engagement and participation at all levels. The pillars and key objectives are:
- Elevate Facility playing Standards – Ensure a safe playing experience across all NSWRL clubs
- Create More Inclusive Facilities – Create more inclusive environments across all Rugby League clubs
- Unlock Additional Capacity – Grow capacity of Rugby League facilities to enable future growth
- Create a More Connected Network – Create a More connected and aligned environment between NSWRL, clubs and Government
Ensuring high-quality infrastructure across the network of 700 community clubs, servicing more than 117,000 participants, is crucial to ensuring clubs continue to provide safe, inclusive environments for participants of all genders and backgrounds, creating strong, lifelong community experiences for everyone.
The proactive strategic actions outlined acknowledge that with the ongoing participation growth across the state along with future growth forecasts, there is additional pressure on already-stretched existing infrastructure and community facilities.
The cornerstone of the Infrastructure Strategy is the establishment of the NSWRL Infrastructure Investment Fund (IIF) to provide much-needed funding support to Rugby League community clubs statewide.
New South Wales Rugby League respects and honours the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
