The State Government is giving Victoria’s smallest towns an extra month to apply for a Tiny Towns Fund grant, offering regional communities more time to apply for support to help improve their towns.
Minister for Regional Development Jaclyn Symes announced last week that applications for round three of the $20 million Tiny Towns Fund have been extended by four weeks and will now close at 4pm on Wednesday, March 4.
“These past weeks have seen great heartbreak and destruction across our regions, so we’re extending the Tiny Towns funding application period to give regional communities more time to finalise their applications,” Ms Symes said.
Grants of between $5000 and $50,000 are available to towns with fewer than 5000 people for projects that provide more opportunities to connect, attract visitors, improve facilities and deliver infrastructure upgrades.
The application extension is part of the Allan Labor Government’s broader response to support communities impacted by bushfires and floods.
The Australian and Victorian Governments have announced more than $100 million in recovery payments, grants and initiatives.

The Tiny Towns Fund is a part of our record $47 billion investment over the past decade in projects and programs that support regional and rural Victoria.
