Community organisations and local councils across NSW are being encouraged to submit their grant applications for the Community Building Partnership (CBP) program to help make their town or suburb a better place to live, work, learn and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program invests in infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes while promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2009, the program has awarded more than $436 million to more than 19,700 projects across the state, from access ramps for community halls to resurfacing the local sporting grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and local councils are eligible to apply for grants of between $5000 and $150,000. Grants must be for building, refurbishing or repairing community infrastructure, or for buying freestanding equipment or vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each state electorate receives a maximum of $300,000 in funding and applications are assessed against other proposed projects within the same electorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grant applications close Friday 27 October 2023 at 5pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
