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.

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.

Member for Penrith, Karen McKeown OAM MP said:

“This is a successful long-running program for a reason – the grants make an important and 
lasting impact in our local communities.

“Local residents know what their communities need when it comes to local infrastructure, and the NSW Government Community Building Partnership program is a way to help meet those needs. I encourage all those eligible organisations to priorities their projects and have them costed before applications formally open in January.”
