The community grant program has been established to encourage community-led initiatives to improve liveability, health and education in communities throughout regional and remote Queensland.

Community Growth Grants are for grants of up to $15,000 per grant.

Awarded yearly in February for the following year. Primarily awarded to large-scale, medium to long term projects of an ongoing nature or larger scale community infrastructure.

Applications for Community Growth Grants close on the 15 January each year and will be awarded in February annually.

Applications can be received at any time throughout the year and assessed at the next available assessment period.
