About
The Tiny Towns Fund supports local communities to deliver quality tourism and community facility projects, such as splash parks and bike trails, playgrounds, community hall and library upgrades, public art and more.
From grandstand seating to kitchen refurbishments, the Tiny Towns Fund backs community-driven projects that enhance our smallest towns, strengthen community connections, and encourage more visitors to all corners of Victoria.
Funding Available
Applicants may seek a minimum of $5,000 and up to a maximum of $50,000 in grant funding per project (exclusive of GST).
A maximum amount of $50,000 per town will be applied for Round 2 to enable an equitable and broad geographic spread of funding.
Where there are multiple applicants with projects from the same town, these applicants are encouraged to work together, including with local government, to put forward high‑quality applications for agreed projects that strongly align with the program guidelines. This could be one agreed project or multiple projects that combined do not exceed $50,000.
Grant amounts may be reduced if ineligible expenses are requested as part of the project budget or where co‑contribution evidence does not cover the required amount.
