Description
The program will focus on a partnership approach to deliver investment in regional Australia. It will bring together governments and communities to plan and deliver regional precincts that are tailored to local needs and have a shared vision in how that precinct connects to the region.
Partners can be from government, First Nations groups, community organisations, educational institutions or private enterprise.
Regional precincts or ‘places with a purpose’ are user-defined geographic areas with a specific shared need or
theme. Regional precincts may include business districts, neighbourhoods, activity centres, commercial hubs or
community and recreational areas.
They will be located in renewal areas and growth areas in regional centres,
regional corridors, regional cities, as well as smaller town centres that serve as service hubs in more remote
communities.
There are two streams of the regional Precincts and Partnerships Program which are delivered as two grant
opportunities.
The regional Precincts and Partnerships Program will be an always open grants process, meaning applications can be submitted at any time once the program opens.
