Coffs Coast infrastructure projects will power ahead under the next round of the Community Building Partnership Program, with applications open from Tuesday 28 January.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said community organisations and local councils can apply for grants of between $10,000 and $100,000, with a total of $450,000 available for our electorate.
“Community Building Partnership is a much-loved program which invests in local projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes while promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion,” Mr Singh said.
“Grants must be for building, refurbishing or repairing community infrastructure, or for buying freestanding equipment or vehicles.
“There’s a very good reason why this program has been long-running – these grants make an important and lasting impact in our local communities.
“I encourage eligible organisations to consider their local projects which need attention and to apply for funding.”
Since 2009, the Community Building Partnership Program has awarded more than $464 million to more than 20,900 projects across the state.
Applications will be accepted online from Tuesday 28 January and will close at 5pm on Friday 21 February. Successful organisations will be announced in August.
