Up to $100,000 for large scale partnerships where wide reaching community benefits or a significant lasting outcome can be demonstrated.

Funding will be available throughout the construction of North East Link until project completion and the program will prioritise its support to those most impacted by construction. Funding will be awarded so that there is a spread of funding across a range of projects and categories.

The fund has already supported more than 150 projects that align with the identified community priorities ranging from programs to increase participation, including community art exhibitions, sports club open days, and community centre upgrades.
