The Victorian Government has launched a new grant program to support local projects in the state’s smallest communities.

The Tiny Towns Fund aims to enhance the quality of life and attract more visitors to towns and communities with a population of up to 5,000 people.

The fund offers grants between $5,000 and $50,000 to deliver infrastructure, facilities, and capability-building projects for our small communities.

The fund is open to applications from incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and Councils.

The first round of the fund opened on Monday, 27 November and will close in February 2024, with further rounds to open from next year.

For more information and to apply for the fund, visit the Regional Development Victoria website or call 1800 878 969.
