This Placemaking Grant provides an opportunity for not-for-profit groups, including business associations, to host and deliver placemaking activations in Whitehorse's activity centres.

An Activity Centre is a publicly accessible place within a community that serves as a focal point for social gatherings, cultural events, and commercial activities, promoting community interaction and economic growth. These centres do not include privately owned hardtop shopping centres but can be found in locations such as Mont Albert Heritage Plaza, Blackburn Station Village Community Lane, and Activation Pods, where community engagement activities can take place.

This grant is a sub-category of the Creativity Grant.
