Community Grants 

The City encourages groups, organisations and individuals to host community projects or events (including street parties) by offering financial support through our Community Grants Fund. 

The purpose of the Community Grants Fund is to provide small grants for projects and events that contribute to community spirit and help build a more inclusive community in the City of Nedlands. The project to be funded must show a direct benefit to the local community.  

The fund also aims to support the building of local relationships, networks, community interaction and the gathering and socialising of residents within their local communities. To qualify for funding, all events, except street parties, must be open to the whole community.

Eligible events and projects may include: 

  • community events 
  • festive season celebrations

Street parties are eligible for a maximum of $250 and other events and projects are eligible for up to $1000.  

Applications must be submitted at least four (4) weeks before the proposed event to allow time for assessment.
