A new $9 million program will assist clubs located near the stadium, helping them manage the impacts and opportunities associated with future development.

The funding program aims to support local sporting groups by providing resources that can help maintain participation, improve facilities and strengthen community sport. Local clubs play an important role in bringing residents together and encouraging people of all ages to participate in physical activity.
The Sunshine Coast has a strong sporting culture, with community clubs involved in rugby league, football, athletics, swimming and other activities. Many of these organisations rely heavily on volunteers and local support to operate successfully.

The Sunshine Coast region has experienced significant growth in recent years, increasing demand for high-quality recreation facilities. Investments in sporting infrastructure are viewed as important for supporting both current residents and future population growth.
Alongside the stadium development, the region continues to attract visitors through beaches, tourism destinations and community events. Sporting infrastructure improvements are expected to contribute to the local economy by creating opportunities for events, visitors and businesses.
The announcement also highlights the connection between major sporting events and local communities. While international competitions bring global attention, organisers emphasise that investment should also deliver benefits for everyday athletes, families and local clubs.
Sunshine Coast Stadium has already hosted major sporting events and continues to be an important venue for regional competitions. Future upgrades are expected to enhance its ability to support larger events while improving facilities for community users.
Local sporting groups will continue working with authorities as planning and construction timelines develop. The support program is expected to provide assistance during the transition period and help clubs prepare for future opportunities.
The Sunshine Coast’s role in the 2032 Games represents a significant milestone for the region. The combination of upgraded infrastructure and community investment aims to create a lasting sporting legacy beyond the event itself.
