Purpose

A small number of grants will support application for local community infrastructure preparedness projects i.e. Community Halls or Meeting Places.

Overview

The Expression of Interest (EOI) requires community organisations to outline their projects with an evidence-based concept and estimated costs. Successful EOIs will be required to complete a full application.

EOI's must address ALL three of the following criteria to be considered:

  1. The project aims to build back better local community infrastructure following a disaster event, accounting for historical and future climate risks;
  2. Infrastructure projects will design, rebuild or install equipment / materials using resilient materials and / or harnessing clever use of design that aims to prepare for and reduce future impacts of disasters; and
  3. Outline of estimated costs including material, labour and expertise informing project plan and delivery of services.

Objective outcomes of Stream 2 projects may include but are not limited to:

  • Increased resilience of community meeting places to existing and future climate impacts;
  • Lower running costs, i.e. insurance;
  • Lower disruption immediately post-disaster and throughout recovery (increased ability to retain social connection); and
  • Lower potential cost re replacement post-disaster and throughout recovery.

Limitations

Eligibility

To apply, you must meet the following criteria: 

  • Applicant organisations must be a not-for-profit organisation with either an Incorporation Certificate and / or an ABN. If you are unsure if your organisation is a registered not-for-profit (for example, if you are a Co-operative, Other Unincorporated Entity, Public Company or Trust), please contact FRRR;
  • Project must be for charitable purposes and offer clear public benefit;
  • Not-for-profit organisations with or without DGR-1 endorsement are eligible; 
  • Organisations can submit one application per grant round; 
  • Project must benefit communities in remote, rural or regional Australia;
  • Projects must take place in an eligible remote, rural or regional community with a disaster declaration from January 2019 - December 2024. FRRR will refer to the Federal Government website, but it will not be the only basis on which an application is assessed and prioritised. If you believe that you are in a remote, rural or regional community disaster-affected between 2019 - 2024 and your region is not listed, please call us on 1800 170 020 to discuss the situation.
