THE grants program invests in local infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes while promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.

 

Since 2009, the program has awarded more than $464 million to more than 20,900 projects across the state.

 

In the 2024 round of this grant program, organisations such as Marine Rescue Central Coast, Peninsula Lighthouse, Riding for the Disabled and Ettalong Beach P&C were supported to invest in our community through important infrastructure programs.

 

Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP said, “Since 2019 the important impact of this grant program has been clear. Hundreds of community organisations across the Gosford electorate and wider Central Coast have seen the enduring benefit that this grant program can have for our local communities.

 

“It is our local community groups that know what is needed day-to-day to support their work, and the NSW Government Community Building Partnership program is a fantastic way to see these dreams become reality.

 

“I encourage our local community groups to apply for this brilliant grant program to support the fantastic work that they already do in our Central Coast community.”

 

Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and local councils will be eligible to apply for grants of between $10,000 and $100,000.

 

Grants can be for building, refurbishing or repairing community infrastructure, or for buying freestanding equipment or vehicles.

 

Program Guidelines are available at here.

 

Applications will be accepted online as from now and will close at 5pm AEDT, Friday 21 February 2025. Successful organisations will be announced later in 2025.
