The Australian Government has committed $350 million over 3 years, commencing 2024–25, for the Thriving Suburbs Program to deliver investment in community infrastructure across Australia's urban, suburban and peri-urban areas.
The program is delivering funding of between $500,000 and $15 million to local government entities and incorporated not-for-profit organisations for capital works projects that enhance liveability, bolster social cohesion and support local amenity in urban, suburban and peri-urban communities.
Program funding was available through one round, which closed to applications on 2 September 2024.
Please continue to monitor this webpage for updates on the program.
