The Australian Government’s Stronger Communities Programme is offering grants of up to $20,000 for small infrastructure projects that create social benefits for local communities. Each federal electorate has funding available, with local MPs identifying potential projects and inviting eligible organisations to apply.
This could be an opportunity to make a practical improvement in your area for people supported by Melba and the wider community. Think about what would make a local space more welcoming, accessible, connected or sustainable. Ideas might include improving access to community infrastructure, creating an inclusive outdoor area, upgrading technology that supports connection, or adding features that build community and belonging.
We would like to hear about improvements that could make a meaningful difference. At this stage, you do not need a fully developed proposal, just share the need you have noticed, your idea and who could benefit.
Please send your ideas to communications@melbasupport.com.au by Friday 30 October.
