Local funding to support local priorities.
Local Grants Fund
$4 million Local Grants Fund
$4 million of the WRL Benefit Sharing Program will be allocated to establishing a Local Grants Fund designed to be accessible and responsive to local priorities.
The fund will support community-led initiatives based in the local government areas the proposed project alignment traverses. Intended to respond to high demand for flexible funding, the program will enable local collectives and organisations to deliver projects that align with and reflect community priorities. The first funding round is expected to open in the first quarter of 2026.
