SA Car Club Program

Car and motorcycle clubs have a long and proud history in South Australia. They are an important social and recreational outlet for many motoring enthusiasts.

The State Government recognises the pivotal role that car and motorcycle clubs provide to our community. This is why we established a four-year SA Car Club Program from 2022 to 2025, with the 2025 round being the fourth and final.

About the grants

Grants to the value of $500,000 are available in each year of the SA Car Club Program. This funding will support local car and motorcycle clubs across South Australia. This will help them to better meet their growing operating costs, including managing the conditional registration scheme.

Your South Australian car or motorcycle club could be eligible for SA Car Club Program funding to:

increase club participation
host events
improve or upgrade your facilities
build capacity
streamline operations.

The SA Car Club Program offers grants funding through three streams:

Project type	Total stream budget
Program, equipment and operational stream	$200,000
Events and activities stream	$100,000
Infrastructure stream	$200,000

Eligible applicants may submit applications for multiple streams.
