Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program

The Australian Government’s $150 million urban Precincts and Partnerships Program (uPPP) is now open for applications.

The uPPP seeks to support transformative investment in urban precincts based on the principles of unifying urban places, growing economies and serving communities.

The program focuses on a partnership approach, bringing together governments, businesses and communities to deliver multi-purpose urban precincts that are place-based, tailored to local needs and positioned around a shared vision, need or theme.

The uPPP is an always open, non-competitive funding opportunity, supporting both precinct development proposals and the delivery of construction-ready precinct projects.

  • Stream One: Precinct development and planning
    • Project funding of between $500,000 to $5 million will be available for master planning, consultation, design, business cases and partnership establishment.
  • Stream Two: Precinct delivery
    • Project funding of $5 million to $50 million will be available to help deliver a specified project or projects as part of a precinct. This could include enabling public infrastructure (roads, pathways, underground infrastructure), open spaces between elements, or a particular building/s that is the catalyst for, or complements, other investment within a precinct.

The proposed project must be in an urban location, delineated as entirely inside the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSA). Use the mapping tool link to determine the eligibility of your project location.

The regional Precincts and Partnership Program (rPPP) is also open and available to those applicants who are not located within the statistical boundary for the uPPP.
