Get your project ready

Section51 welcomes 2023 as a new and exciting year for grants.  We have already seen announcements from the Australian Government that grants will open on Infrastructure, Climate Change, Environment and Arts for local government and communities across Australia.  This is just the start as more announcements are expected in the May budget. 

Infrastructure
The Growing Regions Program was announced in the October Budget. This is the replacement of BBRF and will ‘provide access to funding for capital works for community and economic infrastructure across our rural and regional areas’. 

Section51 has been in contact with the Department of Infrastructure who are managing this grant program.  The advice we received is that brand new guidelines are being written which are to be released for your comment in February.  When the guidelines are completed the grant program is anticipated to open in May.
Now is the time to start preparing your projects to be grant ready.
