Councils are being reminded to apply for Round Five of the Regional
Development Australia Fund (RDAF), which will provide $150 million to
local governments for capital infrastructure projects.
The funding is intended to be used to build and renew community infrastructure and local councils and shires will be expected to outline the projects they intend to put this funding towards.
Sporting facilities, libraries, town halls, playgrounds and essential community services such as child care facilities are likely to benefit from this investment.
Applications for RDAF Round Five can be submitted via the Department's Grants Management System (GMS) Portal between 1 July and 22 July. (To identify local government staff with access to the GMS Portal, please email rdaf@regional.gov.au)
Information about the application process, including guidelines, frequently asked questions, funding allocations to eligible local governments and a draft sample application form is available online and can be accessed by clicking here.
