2010/2011 NSW Community Building Partnership program  

In the 20010/11 State Budget, the NSW Government announced a $35 million ‘Community Building Partnership’ program to support local jobs, stimulate growth and improve community facilities.  

Community groups and local councils across NSW are invited to submit applications for funding that will help support local infrastructure and jobs.  

The NSW Community Building Partnership program will invest $300,000 into building local community projects in every electoral district with an additional $100,000 to be invested in electoral districts with higher unemployment.

Under the partnership, the NSW Government will contribute to the cost of building important community projects and stimulating local economies.  

For example, a community group that needs to repaire their building may apply under the partnership for funding to finish the job orto get the project completed faster. This will assist in maintaining critical local infrastructure, creating local jobs and delivering new facilities.  

I am inviuing applications from our local councils and community groups (incorporated not-for-profit bodies such as charities, sporting, social and environmental groups), within the Maroubra Electorate.

Grants to local councils require matched funding. While this is not a requirement for applications from incorporated not-for-profit bodies, applications involving co-contributions will receive favourable consideration.  

Applications are now open and will close on 23 July 2010.
