SPARC Rural Travel Fund

As of Wednesday 1 February 2012, SPARC, the government agency responsible for sport and recreation, is changing its name to Sport New Zealand (Sport NZ). There’s no change to what they do – it’s still their aim to get more Kiwis into sport, more kids into sport and, through High Performance Sport New Zealand, more winners on the world stage.
The new name - Sport NZ - is all encompassing of sport and recreation activities, and recreation remains a key focus for Sport NZ. 


There are two Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund funding rounds in 2012. One round opens Monday 5 March 2012 and closes Friday 13 April 2012 (for winter sports). The other round opens Monday 10 September 2012 and closes on Friday 12 October 2012 (for summer sports).

Application Form for round closing 13 April 2012 (winter sports)

Application Form for round closing 12 October 2012 (summer sports)
