There are a range of grants and funding options available to Yarra businesses. This list includes some of the places you can find grants. We recommend you also do your own online search for new funding opportunities.
Precinct activations
Our Economic Development team has an annual budget of $80,000 to invest in activations across our 12 retail and service precincts. This equates to around 4 precinct activation projects per year.
Local traders lead these projects. They rely on a group of businesses to work together, and with us, to come up with an idea for their precinct and deliver their project.
Examples of previous projects include:
- Collingwood Beer Trail
- Everyday Nicholson
- LOJO Festival
- North Fitzroy Village: Your hood with the goods
- wearehere.place.
If you are interested in delivering your own precinct activation or would like more information, please contact the Economic Development team.
