About the program

This funding opportunity is for Stream Two of the urban Precincts and Partnerships Program.

The Precinct Delivery funding opportunity provides funding to deliver one or more elements of a precinct. This could include enabling public infrastructure (roads, pathways, underground infrastructure), open spaces between elements, or a particular building/s that is the catalyst for, or complements, other investment within a precinct.

For Stream Two, the project is considered to be one or more elements of a precinct. This funding opportunity will provide funding for the delivery of projects, rather than entire precincts. This contrasts with Stream One, where the project is considered to be the planning and development of the whole precinct.

The objective of Stream Two is to support the delivery of multi-purpose precincts, comprised of multiple infrastructure components.

The intended outcomes of Stream Two are to:

  • deliver projects that form part of a precinct or foundational infrastructure that activate a precinct
  • support the delivery of urban precincts that are tailored to their local contexts and based on a shared vision.

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 grant 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 (25 points).
  • Assessment criterion 2: Project need (20 points).
  • Assessment criterion 3: Community engagement, collaboration and partnership (20 points).
  • Assessment criterion 4: Capacity, capability and resources to deliver the project (35 points).

The amount of detail and supporting evidence you provide should be relative to the project size, complexity and grant amount requested.

The Minister makes the final decision.
