EOI NOW OPEN – Longman Stronger Communities Grants Round 10

EOI NOW OPEN – Longman Stronger Communities Grants Round 10

I invite community organisations across the electorate of Longman to put forward projects that will strengthen our local community.

 

Grants of $2,500 to $20,000 are available for eligible projects that deliver social benefits and encourage community participation.

This can include upgrades to community facilities, new equipment, accessibility improvements, technology, veterans’ facilities, health and wellbeing infrastructure, and projects supporting climate resilience and native flora and fauna.

 

The maximum total project cost is $50,000.

 

Up to $150,000 is available in Longman, with a maximum of 20 projects able to receive funding.

 

Eligible organisations can receive funding for up to 100% of eligible project costs, while local councils can receive up to 50%.

The process begins with an Expression of Interest to my office. Following community consultation, selected projects will be nominated to the Department of Industry, Science and Resources. Eligible nominees will then be invited to submit a formal grant application.

 

Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on Friday the 30th of October 2026.

 

Please complete the Expression of Interest Form below by the deadline to put your project forward.
