Grants programs

Each year we run various grant programs to help local groups, individuals and businesses deliver projects that will make Banyule a better place to live.

Whether you’ve got a bright idea to connect community members, create a more sustainable municipality, bring artworks to the neighbourhood or need help to repair and maintain equipment and facilities for the community to enjoy, you’ll be able to pitch for a cash injection to help you bring your idea to life.
