Local infrastructure projects across NSW are set for a boost with the next round of the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership (CBP) grant program to open early next year.
Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and local councils will be eligible to apply for grants of between $10,000 and $100,000.
Grants can be for building, refurbishing or repairing community infrastructure, or for buying freestanding equipment or vehicles.
Each state electorate receives a maximum of $450,000 in funding and applications are assessed against other proposed projects within the same electorate.
A total of $41,850,000 in grants will be available for local infrastructure projects through the CBP program.
Since 2009, the program has awarded more than $464 million to over 20,900 projects across the state.
The Program Guidelines will be available soon.
Applications will be accepted online from Tuesday 28 January 2025 and will close at 5pm AEDT, Friday 21 February 2025. Successful organisations will be announced later in 2025.
NSW Premier Chris Minns said:
“The next round of the Community Building Partnership program is opening soon.
“These grants make an impact at a local level – a shade cloth at a childcare centre or a repair to local sports facilities are valuable ways this program makes a difference to communities.
“Applications open in January but we’re aware applications take time. I want to encourage eligible organisations to start thinking about the projects that are top of the ‘to do’ list for their communities.”
