Stronger Country Communities Fund Project Nomination - Round 2 2018.

Stronger Country Communities Fund

The Stronger Country Communities Fund has been established by the NSW Government to support regional communities and help deliver local infrastructure projects. The purpose is to provide the kind of infrastructure that improves the lives of local residents. As a result, this fund will also ensure regional communities across NSW remain attractive and vibrant places to attract residents and new visitors. 

Council is seeking input from the community to help shortlist projects for this grant program.   Council must work within strict deadlines set by the NSW Government for the application process, so it is important that everyone nominates any relevant project for consideration before 31 March 2018.

If you can think of a project that fits the funding criteria please nominate it for consideration.

Projects must be at least $50,000 to $1M.

The fund will support projects for:

- Construction of new or refurbishment/upgrade of existing community infrastructure such as community halls, playgrounds, or toilet blocks.

- Construction of new or refurbishment/upgrade of existing local sporting infrastructure such as change-room facilities, walking and cycle pathsways, public pool upgrades, indoor sports facilities or oval/court lighting.

- Capital works related to street beautification and public 'space-making' such as murals, planter boxes or town and tourism signage.
