Program objective
The objectives of the program are:
- constructing or upgrading community infrastructure that fills an identified and immediate gap or unmet need for community infrastructure, particularly for communities that have experienced substantial growth
- contributing to achieving social outcomes and increased community cohesion, liveability and accessibility for urban, suburban and peri-urban growth areas, fringe areas and inner suburbs
- strategic alignment with the Australian Government’s National Urban Policy to deliver targeted and place-based investment that promotes sustainable growth and enables communities to thrive.
The intended outcomes of the program are:
- provision of multi-use infrastructure which benefits a broad section of the community by improving access, equity and social inclusion
- to enhance amenity and liveability, particularly in suburban and peri-urban areas (new and outer suburbs) that are experiencing growth
- to contribute to the achievement of Government priorities supporting the resilience, adaptability, accessibility, sustainability and liveability of communities, including in First Nations communities
- delivery of funding where it is needed across a broad geographic spread of urban, suburban and peri-urban areas in Australia
- delivery of diverse project types and a balance of large and small projects
- supporting and encouraging projects from lesser-resourced project proponents and low rate-based councils
This program is administered by Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
