About the program
The urban Precinct Development and Planning (Stream One) funding opportunity provides funding to develop a precinct idea through to investment-ready stage. The rationale for Stream One is to recognise that financial constraints can inhibit great concepts being explored further and developed into realistic, well designed and planned projects.
For the purposes of Stream One, the project is considered to be a plan for the entire precinct, even if you are only considering future investment in one element of the precinct. This contrasts with Stream Two, where the project is one or more elements of a precinct.
The objective of Stream One is to activate partnerships to jointly deliver plans, designs or business cases for multi-purpose precincts comprised of multiple infrastructure components.
The intended outcomes of Stream One are to:
- establish partnerships comprised of relevant government entities, community organisations and businesses that have a shared vision for an urban precinct
- deliver precinct plans that are tailored to their local contexts and based on community feedback and engagement
- support precinct plans to become investment ready.
First we check that you meet the eligibility criteria. Then the Independent Expert Panel will assess your application against the assessment criteria.
The assessment criteria are a set of rules that describe how we must assess each application.
We give each criterion a certain number of points.
We’ll decide whether to award you the funding based on the total number of points we give your application.
Only applications which score at least 75% against each assessment criterion will be deemed as meritorious and considered for award of funding.
- Assessment criterion 1 Project alignment with Program objectives and Australian Government priorities (35 points).
- Assessment criterion 2: Project need (35 points).
- Assessment criterion 3: Community engagement, collaboration and partnership (20 points).
- Assessment criterion 4: Capacity, capability and resources to deliver the project (10 points).
The amount of detail and supporting evidence you provide should be relative to the project size, complexity and funding amount requested.
The Minister makes the final decision.
