Applying for a Matching Grant is easy

All you need to do is follow these five (5) steps:

Step 1 - Think of a project that will improve your neighbourhood

  • Find some friends, neighbours or other locals to help make your great idea a reality.

TIP: Remember the more fun and creative - the better!

Step 2 - Start planning

  • Work out what you can contribute, and what you need from us
  • Organise a meeting or an online forum to discuss your project idea

TIP: Start planning - think about dates, costs and the amount of time that it would take to undertake your project.

Step 3 - Contact the City of Sydney to discuss your project

  • Contact our Local Action Plans staff to discuss your proposal
  • We will help you through every step, to ensure your project is eligible for a Matching Grant

TIP: Remember, the Matching Grants program is now open all year round.

Step 4 - Obtain any relevant permissions

  • Some projects may require approvals or permits - we can help you with this process.

TIP: This can take some time so be sure to factor it into your project timeline and start this as soon as possible.

Step 5 – Complete your project submission

  • Download the submission form from the City of Sydney website or have one posted to you
  • Complete the form and attach any supporting documentation that will help us assess your project
  • Submit a hard copy of your completed submission form at any one of the City of Sydney Council office locations before 6pm on the closing date
