Cultural Precincts and Community Infrastructure Fund

Cultural precincts and community infrastructure across Victoria are being enhanced with a $12 million injection, boosting the viability and vibrancy of areas of cultural significance.

The Cultural Precincts and Community Infrastructure Fund aims to:

  •  Support projects that will enable Victoria’s most captivating and exciting precincts to remain sustainable and attractive for investment and cultural and tourism activities; and
  •  Support the upgrade of existing or construction of new community facilities, promoting greater use and access by Victoria’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

The funding program is an extension of the already successful $10 million Cultural Precincts Enhancement Fund, which revitalised cultural precincts of the Greek, Italian and Chinese communities in Melbourne's Bourke, Lonsdale and Lygon Streets.

Small and Major Capital Infrastructure Grants 2012

The 2012 round of the Cultural Precincts and Community Infrastructure Fund is now open.

Capital infrastructure grants are available to culturally and linguistically diverse community organisations for the restoration or construction of community-owned facilities, and to local councils across Victoria to enhance cultural precincts.
