Liveable Cities Funding Program (Australia)

The Department of Infrastructure and Transport's Liveable Cities Program was announced in October 2011. The Program aims to fund projects that will improve the capacity of the 18 capital and major regional cities to undertake strategic planning in line with the COAG agreed criteria and will support the development of demonstration projects that facilitate urban renewal and strategic urban development. The Program will provide $20.0 million over two years. Applications will close on 15 December 2011

Funding will be provided in two streams:

Stream 1 - Planning and Design (Projects seeking funding under this stream can apply for a maximum Australian Government funding contribution of up to $500,000.)

Stream 2 - Demonstration Projects (Projects seeking funding under this stream can apply for a maximum Australian Government funding contribution of up to $4 million.)

Funding in both streams will be provided up to a maximum of 50% of the project costs.  Applications will be assessed under the criteria set out in the Program Guidelines.

On 20 October 2011 the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport announced the guidelines for the Program, and called for applications from State and Territory governments, and local governments located in the 18 major cities.  Applications will close on 15 December 2011.  The Department has written to eligible local government authorities and to the States and Territories inviting applications and providing information about the Program.
