Community Building Partnership - 2023

The NSW Government is investing in infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes, while also promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.

In 2023, the total value of the CBP program is $27.9 million. There is a maximum of $300,000 to allocate in each electorate.

CBP will consider funding requests for projects in NSW involving:

• capital works including construction of new community infrastructure as well as refurbishment, repair and maintenance of existing community infrastructure.
  Capital works are: improvements to the land or building, or freestanding equipment that will be fixed or installed to the land or building
• the purchase of freestanding equipment
• the purchase of vehicle(s) such as cars, buses, trucks, trailers, motorised rescue vehicles including boats and any modifications to existing vehicles
• projects that can be completed by 31 August 2025
• projects with one project location per application only
• an application involving a vehicle must be made separately to a capital works and/or equipment purchase. Your application may be deemed ineligible if you fail to do so.
