Active Regional Communities Package - Community Participation

The NSW Government has established the ARC - Community Participation Stream 2, with funding of up to $25 million available to increase liveability and social cohesion of communities through greater participation in community activities.

The objective of the Community Participation Stream is to increase liveability and social cohesion of communities through greater participation in community activities that contribute to the wellbeing, social or economic participation of residents.

Eligible projects that can be supported by a Community Participation grant will increase participation in the type of community activities that contribute to the wellbeing, social or economic participation of residents, to achieve the program objective at 1.3. and can include:

• new and improved infrastructure and/or activation of under-used assets
• new or expanded services or programs, that increase access to, or improve the diversity of community activities and cohorts that can participate
• addressing barriers to participation, improving the amenity of activities with facilities, childcare (creche), increased safety, supervision and/or transport.

Projects must be able to meet the project delivery timeframe listed in the Key Information.
