Jason Foss chats with Wade Clark from Advance Rockhampton about the new Prosperous Precincts Grant Program.

From their website:

The Prosperous Precincts Grant Program is designed to promote innovative and creative solutions to enhance core areas of Rockhampton, through funding to improve our main streets and fund community initiatives and activations.

This discretionary funding program was created to take a place-based approach to achieving economic and community benefits, foster community-led initiatives and promote engagement between Rockhampton Regional Council and local businesses.

The grant supports covers two project types:

• Modern Precincts Stream – The Modern Precincts Stream provides funding to support businesses and landowners to improve the appearance and patron experience of their property, enhance the streetscape appeal, attract patronage and stimulate the economy.  
• Connected Precincts Stream – The Connected Precincts Stream provides funding to assist in the delivery of initiatives that provide community development outcomes, public realm improvements, building a stronger link between the business community, visitors, and residents of the Region.  

Matched funding of up to $5,000+GST is on offer to cover a maximum of half a project’s cost.
