Creative Streets Grants
This program aims to support a community initiative that improves a Waverley streetscape. The project must make a positive contribution to a public space in line with Waverley's Community Strategic Plan, utilising Waverley's Urban Intervention Framework. The Urban Intervention Framework encourages 'short term action for longer term change'. It recognises that small changes can have a big impact on our streets and communities.
Who can apply
Individuals, community groups and services, precinct groups, schools and local businesses can apply with proposals that contribute to improving Waverley's streetscapes.
How much money is available
One grant of $5,000 is made available each year. Applicants are encouraged to contribute towards their proposed project through cash and or in-kind contributions.
Application Closing Dates
