The NSW Community Building Partnership

The NSW Government’s $35 million Community Building Partnership will provide funding for local community projects across NSW.

Community groups and local councils will be eligible to submit applications for funding that will help support local infrastructure and jobs.

The NSW Community Building Partnership 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.

Criteria
Applicants should demonstrate how their project will deliver positive results for their community, through job creation and community, social, recreational or environmental outcomes.

Applications from local councils will require a commitment of matching funding by the council.

Projects must be ready to commence by late 2009 and be completed before the end of December 2010.

Applications for funding under the partnership open on 22 June and close on 10 August 2009.

Approval
Members of Parliament will:

• Invite applications from local councils and community groups within their electoral districts.
• Provide comments and recommendations on the suitability and priority of eligible proposals within their electoral districts for the Premier’s consideration.

The Department of Premier and Cabinet will make recommendations to the Premier based on the assessment criteria and information provided by Members of Parliament.
