Funding is available for not-for-profit community organisations with initiatives that help support their local communities.

The state government said this round of funding will have two components, grants and partnerships.

Grants will provide funding for one off activities or events, whereas partnership funding will support infrastructure projects that provide a significant and lasting outcome.

Partnerships and grants are available for initiatives in the Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong council areas to support communities most impacted during construction of the West Gate Tunnel Project.

Projects should be ready to get started and need to be completed by June 2025.

Applications for the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund are open now and will close on Monday, March 18.

Williamstown MP Melissa Horne said it’s exciting to see the local community transforming with the help of the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund.

“The next round will lead to many more improvements and opportunities for Williamstown.

“The latest round of partnerships and grants will mean that more local sports clubs and community groups will have access to the facilities and equipment they need to create happy, healthy, and active communities.”
