Grant Opportunity: Preparing Australian Communities – Local Stream
Funding for projects that improve the resilience of communities associated with large-scale natural hazards
The Preparing Australian Communities – Local Stream Program provides locally identified and locally led projects with up to $10 million in funding to improve the resilience of communities against natural hazards.
Open date: 10 Dec 2021 09:00 AM AEDT.
Close date: 06 Jan 2022 05:00 PM AEDT.
What do you get?
Grants of $20,000 to $10 million to cover eligible project costs.
Who is this for?
The program is open to Australia-wide applicants. It will prioritise projects in locations where there is a greater risk of natural hazards, including bushfires, floods and tropical cyclones.
Overview
The program is one component of the Preparing Australia Program targeting support to locally identified and locally led projects that will improve the resilience of communities against natural hazards. Round 1 will focus on projects that will improve the resilience of communities against bushfires, flood and tropical cyclones.
The program is open to applications for projects all around Australia. The program will prioritise selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) based on their level of comparative hazard risk, informed by the Australian Climate Service and state and territory governments (see sections 4 and 7 for additional information about priority locations and prioritisation).
The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is to support communities to undertake disaster risk reduction and resilience initiatives that provide public benefit through reducing:
- the impact of future natural hazards on Australian communities
- the burden (cost and time) of recovery in communities following future disasters
