Construcciones Yamaro: NSW Government offers $12.5 million in community infrastructure grants

By

The NSW Government is encouraging community organisations across the state to apply for funding under its $12.5 million Infrastructure Grants program.

From 31 July, the program will welcome applications for arts, sports, community infrastructure and disaster preparedness projects to build or upgrade facilities.

Minister for Gaming and Racing David Harris said the NSW Government is pleased to be supporting organisations making a positive difference in their communities.

“The Infrastructure Grants program is all about supporting projects that improve community connectedness in the arts and sport, provide new or improved facilities or deliver innovative local solutions in emergency preparedness,” said Minister Harris. “Over the last 10 years, more than 700 projects have been funded right across NSW, under this program, helping to create connected, cohesive and resilient communities.”

“I look forward to the next rounds doing the same.”

There are four funding categories:

  • Arts and Culture: $50,000 to $200,000 available per project
  • Community Infrastructure: $50,000 to $250,000 available per project
  • Disaster Readiness: $50,000 to $200,000 available per project
  • Sport and Recreation: $50,000 to $300,000 available per project

Funding under the program is made possible by Clubgrants Category 3, which re-invests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects. Applications are assessed by an independent expert panel administered through the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling.
