Business sector support grant

Our funding will prioritise projects that:

• support local businesses to adapt to new technologies, explore alternative business models and increase accessibility
• upskill local businesses and entrepreneurs to meet the needs of a more innovative economy
• build the skills and capacity of our diverse communities to increase economic participation
• advocate on key industry issues on behalf of local businesses
• promote local precincts and unique experiences across the city.

We encourage applications from organisations that support Aboriginal and/or Torres and Strait Islander communities and culture, including Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and networks.

• These are questions asked in the application that align with the assessment criteria used at assessment stage:
• Why is there a need for the project and what are the proposed outcomes?
• What is your experience in delivering projects?
• How have you included the local diverse community and how will they benefit and/or being engaged?
• How does the project rate against the funding priorities?
