THE next round of the NSW Government Community Building Partnership program will open to applications in January next year, with $450,000 available to Camden.
The 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.
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 will be available soon at www.nsw.gov.au/cbp
Applications will be accepted online from Tuesday 28 January 2025 and will close at 5pm AEDT, Friday 21 February 2025. Successful organisations will be announced later in 2025.
Sally Quinnell, Member for Camden said: “These grants are instrumental to our community, providing a long lasting and important impact through the projects it helps come to fruition.
“Only our local groups and people know what Camden needs when it comes to local infrastructure. The NSW Government Community Building Partnership program is a great way to kickstart those requirements and ensure our needs as a community are met."
