GROWING REGIONS PROGRAM ROUND 2 – NOW OPEN

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox MP, welcomes the opening of the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program Round 2.

It is a significant initiative aimed at supporting the development, and delivering investment in infrastructure across Australia’s regional, rural and remote areas.

The program provides funding of between $500,000 and $15 million to local government entities and incorporated not-for-profit organisations for capital works projects.

With $393 million available under this round, Mr. Willcox strongly encourages eligible organisations and local governments in Dawson to get in early.

“Grant programs like this are a huge stepping stone to deliver much needed community projects in our regional towns,” Mr. Willcox said.

“They enhance liveability, and you can see the positive difference these make for a community such as the Mackay waterfront pontoon and the recently announced Northern Beaches community hub,” Mr. Willcox said.

“The Growing Regions Program is a fantastic opportunity that will drive growth and development in our region,” said Mr. Willcox.

Applications are open from Thursday 5th September and close on Thursday 10th October 2024.

Please contact Andrew Willcox, MP office for any further information.
