NSW Government regional community funding
Overview
The New South Wales Government is distributing funds through its $50 million Active Regional Communities Package to support various projects across the state.
In late September, the government allocated funds to 156 projects, including $12.4 million for 38 initiatives on the North Coast. These projects include a flood-resilient creative hub in Lismore, a new grandstand in the Tweed, and community conservation efforts in Port Macquarie-Hastings. During this period, Wollongong City Council failed to qualify for $73 million in incentive funding due to development application assessment delays, whereas Shellharbour City Council met the necessary criteria.
By late October, further allocations totaling $6.58 million were announced for 14 community-led projects in the Riverina, Murray, and Southern Tablelands regions. These grants target sporting infrastructure, such as the Goulburn Regional Hockey Centre, and cultural initiatives, including a multi-purpose community hub for the Onerwal Local Aboriginal Land Council in Yass.
