NSW Infrastructure Grants Now Open

Local organisations across the Central Coast are encouraged to apply for funding to support community projects under the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the impacts of COVID-19 were ongoing, and support for struggling community organisations remained a priority.

“There is $12.5 million available in 2021/22 for new or upgraded facilities across sport and recreation, arts and culture, disaster readiness and community infrastructure,” Mr Crouch said.

“This is an opportunity for local organisations to apply for funding for projects which will provide long-term benefits for our community.

“Previously, the NSW Government has provided grant funding to Killarney Vale AFL Club, to upgrade facilities, and Copacabana Men’s Shed to construct a new community Men’s Shed.

“The program is about connecting the community, encouraging participation in sport, recreation and arts and boosting social inclusion and disaster resilience,” Mr Crouch said.

Infrastructure Grants can be used toward the costs of construction, alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure in the following categories: 

• Arts & Culture: $50,000 to $200,000 available per project
• Community Infrastructure: $10,000 to $200,000 available per project
• Disaster Readiness: $10,000 to $200,000 available per project
• Sport & Recreation: $50,000 to $300,000 available per project

Applications are now open and close on Monday 22 November.
