Place Grants aim to support community-led initiatives that: 

• Make a positive contribution to the physical character, amenity or activation of a neighbourhood.  
• Build the capacity and capability of a town team or place-based group. 

Initiatives should foster collaboration and active participation of local people (residents, workers, business owners and/or community groups etc.) to address local priorities and improve local neighborhood's.  

General Eligibility for Community Funding

Eligible applicants are:

• not-for-profit organisations;
• community group or clubs;
• artists, individuals and businesses;
• resident associations;
• town teams or place-based groups;
• parents and citizen (P&C) and parents and friends (P&F) associations;
• schools (only for projects falling outside the Department of Education responsibilities); and

Applicants can be individual people or individual businesses and do not require auspicing by an Incorporated Association. However, the Place Leader may suggest auspicing via a local community group, where the community group’s project management experience and/or resources could fill gaps in the applicant’s experience and/or resources and contribute to successful delivery of the project.
