There will be $ 450,000 in grant funding available in each electorate to help address local community infrastructure needs , making towns and suburbs better places to live , work , learn and play . Projects can include things such as building an access ramp at a community hall , resurfacing a sporting court , installing a shade sail for a playground , upgrading a clubhouse kitchen , purchasing equipment for a public announcement system etc .
A local example is the recently completed Outdoor Multipurpose Sports Court at Our Lady of the Rosary ( OLOR ), Kellyville who received $ 33k from the CBP program in 2023 . Not-for-profit community organisations and local councils
are encouraged to apply now for a grant between $ 10,000 and $ 100,000 . For more information visit : nsw . gov . au / cbp . Aussie pride stronger than ever Australia Day is one of my favourite national celebrations , as we gather on that day to celebrate this country , our culture , our lifestyle and the freedoms we enjoy . This year I was again honoured to attend the flag raising ceremonies at Annangrove , Castle Hill , Kenthurst and Rouse Hill , and I applaud the members of the community who voluntarily coordinate these wonderful , important and significant events . I hope you all had a wonderful Australia Day with your friends and family , and I encourage you to keep this feeling of “ national pride ” throughout the entire year .
