The NSW Government is investing through the CBP in infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental, and recreational outcomes, while also promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion. Since 2009, the Community Building Partnership program has awarded more than $399 million to over 18,000 projects. In 2022, there is a maximum of $400,000 to allocate in each electorate. Incorporated not-for-profit community organisations and local councils are eligible to apply for grants of between $5000 and $150,000. The average grant awarded is around $20,000. In our readership area Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Saving Club Inc., North Arm Cove Community Association Inc. Myall Coast Radio Inc, Pindimar Bundabah Community Association, Karuah Rural Fire Brigade and Delhuntie Park Youth Care and Lifestyle Inc have also received funding for many worthwhile infrastructure projects.
