Apply today for funding of up to $15 million for community-focused infrastructure projects across regional and rural Australia.
Local governments and incorporated not-for-profit organisations can now apply for funding of up to $15 million to support community-focused capital works projects that will enhance liveability, bolster social cohesion and support local amenity throughout Australia's regions.
For this round, $393 million is available to invest in community infrastructure projects including parks, libraries, multi-purpose community centres and sporting and cultural facilities.
Round 2 will have a single-stage application process, unlike Round 1 which had two stages.
Funding can be used to cover up to 50% of eligible project costs, with lower co-funding requirements in place to further support remote communities, First Nations Community Controlled Organisations, and low rate-based councils.
Applications close 10 October 2024.
