Car club grants to keep motors running

30 September 2024

The South Australian Car Club Program is tuning up for a third round of grants. The aim is to drive the ambitions and passions of motor enthusiasts across the state.

$500,000 in grants will be available for local car and motorcycle clubs to fuel their future plans. It is part of the State Government’s commitment to accelerate the growth of motoring communities.

The $2 million program began in 2023. 128 clubs have since shared in $1 million to:

• kickstart infrastructure projects
• host events and activities
• improve operations.

Some initiatives to receive funding include a youth driver education program, clubroom upgrades, track improvements, an international motorcycle rally and a four-wheel drive skills training day.

Round three of grants will provide clubs with funding to:

• build capacity through programs and off-road initiatives
• upgrade infrastructure and equipment
• and host activities and events.

Eligible clubs must be a not-for-profit organisation operating for 12 months or longer. Applications for round three open on 30 September and close on 13 December 2024.

The announcement of successful applicants will be in 2025. For further information and to apply, visit the SA Car Club Program.
