Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for the ninth round of the Stronger Communities Programme.

This program reflects the Australian Government’s commitment to delivering social benefits to communities across the country and forms part of its 2024-25 Budget initiatives.

Grants ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 are available for infrastructure projects designed to deliver social benefits to the community. Projects must have a total cost of under $50,000 to be eligible.

Grant funding will cover up to 100% of eligible project costs for most applicants. For local governing bodies, funding will be up to 50% of eligible project costs.

If you have a project that aims to boost community participation - I encourage you to apply! 

Please submit an EOI here: https://forms.gle/2os3uZa7zuRTyq9y5 by February 16.
