QBE Risk Management Track Grants: Applications Open
It’s that time of year again! To assist in improving the professionalism of our sport and the development of safer speedway venues across Australia, QBE in conjunction with the Speedway Australia Public Liability Scheme are once again giving the chance for Speedway Australia Insured Tracks to receive a financial grant.
QBE Insurance has made a very strong commitment to assist Speedway Australia and the sport of speedway in improving the standard of our venues around the country. This long running scheme has now seen in excess of $300,000 distributed to race tracks to assist with their safe and successful operation.
QBE have generously made another $50,000 available for allocation in 2016, and this is an opportunity for clubs and track promoters to submit a grant application for up to $5,000, outlining how they wish to improve the safety and risk management standards at their venue.
Consideration will be given to track improvements such as enhancing safety fences, improving the safety of spectator areas, safety signage, flood lighting, installation of racing lights, upgrading fire safety equipment and other risk management improvements.
Projects for which grants are being requested must be measurable and must directly relate to risk management improvements at your speedway venue.
Your grant application needs to cover such details as:-
· The specific purpose of the project
· The total cost of materials for the project (quotations and supplier details)
· The benefits of the project
· The start/end dates of the project
Applications for Speedway Australia QBE Risk Management Track Grants must be submitted to Speedway Australia by Friday April 29. Decisions around successful applications will be made shortly thereafter, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
Feel free to submit your application directly to Speedway Australia’s GM Tim Savell via tim@speedwayaustralia.net.au, or contact us on 08 8139 0777 for more details.
And for all your own insurance requirements, feel free to support those who support our sport by contacting QBE Insurance at www.qbe.com.au
