About this program

The City of Sydney’s community facilities include different buildings and spaces that vary in size, location and function.

Under our accommodation grants program, we lease facilities or spaces for up to 5 years at reduced rates (below market rental rates) or at no charge.

We may offer some longer tenancies based on operational and community needs and public interest. Tenancies are informed by the strategic priorities reviewed and set by Council every 4 years.

Applicants must demonstrate that payment of commercial rents would cause financial hardship leading to a reduction or withdrawal of services.

Support available

Support is available in the form of waived or reduced rental charges for City of Sydney facilities. Rates vary depending on the space being leased and the financial capacity of the applicant.

The City of Sydney may require payment of a bond as part of your lease or licence agreement.

Eligibility

How to apply
