WA Bicycle Network Grants Program
The Western Australian Bicycle Network (WABN) Grants Program is a State Government initiative that provides funding to local governments to deliver active transport infrastructure to support more people to walk, wheel and ride as part of their everyday journeys and experiences. The next WABN Grants Program intake will open in July 2024.
The WABN Grants Program is administered by the Department of Transport and matches local government expenditure dollar-for-dollar (up to 50 per cent of the total project cost). Local governments apply for funding under the Program with application rounds open every one to two years, dependant on funding availability.

Black Spot Program
The Black Spot Program is part of the commitment to reduce crashes on Australian roads.
Black Spot projects target those road locations where crashes are occurring. By funding measures such as traffic signals and roundabouts at dangerous locations, the program reduces the risk of crashes. Programs of this sort are very effective, saving the community many times the cost of the relatively minor road improvements that are implemented. The Black Spot Program makes an important contribution in reducing the national road toll under the National Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan. For more information see the Black Spot Program website.
Sporting Schools
Sporting Schools is an Australian Government initiative run by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC). It offers grant opportunities for primary schools, and targeted grant opportunities for secondary schools in relation to Years 7 and 8 students. Grants support the delivery of sport-based programs (including their ‘AusBike’ bike education program) to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life.
Whether you are looking to register your school and apply for funding, or if you are a teacher looking to deliver sporting activities in your school, you can join Sporting Schools and access more than 35 national sporting organisations and national sporting organisations for people with disability to help your school community get moving.
