Community organisations in the Fisher electorate are being encouraged to apply for grants to build and improve community infrastructure to enhance the liveability of our community.
Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace said the Federal Coalition is committed to investing in local projects to deliver practical improvements to regional communities to provide the services and opportunities that are often taken for granted in the capital cities.
“Applications are now open for Growing Regions grants of between $500,000 and $15 million to upgrade existing or build new community facilities that will enhance the region as a place to live, work and raise a family,” Mr Wallace said.
“Eligible projects could include community and sporting facility upgrades that enhance the amenity of towns or projects that help drive stronger economic opportunities for the local community, for example by making regions more inviting for tourists and visitors.”
Not-for-profit incorporated community organisations in regional areas, including sporting clubs, are eligible to apply for grants, as well as local councils.
