Community Facilities Grants Program
The Community Facilities Grants Program (CFGP) provides financial assistance to help fund the capital cost of providing community facilities in regional areas. The State Government recognises that the need for this type of assistance is particularly acute in regional areas and has allocated $2 million over four years to help establish amenities for local communities and tourists.

Grants of between $2,000 and $25,000 are available to local government authorities, incorporated community groups and indigenous communities that can demonstrate a need for assistance.

Funding is available for capital works that provide facilities for public use, such as:

public toilets and nursing rooms;
public playgrounds, including equipment, located in parks, ovals or public open spaces;
shelter for public facilities such as playgrounds, public swimming pools and cemeteries; and
youth facilities

Funding is not available for:

recurring maintenance or operational costs of existing facilities;
non-fixed equipment;
landscaping;
organisations located in the metropolitan area;
Commonwealth and State Government agencies,
private or for profit organisations; and
incorporated community groups that do not provide public access to facilities eg, sporting clubs, day care centres and playgroups

Preference will be given to projects which:

make provision for people with disabilities;
support tourist development;
support youth activities;
include cash or in-kind contributions; or
have no other source of funding available.

Current Status Note: Applications are currently closed for CFGP funding.
