More support for Victoria’s Tiny Towns

Big things are coming to Victoria’s tiniest towns, with Round 2 of the Tiny Towns Fund set to support our smallest communities to be even better places to live, work, stay and play.

Round 2 of the $20 million Tiny Towns Fund is now open. Grants between $5,000 and $50,000 will support projects that will benefit locals and attract visitors to Victorian towns of less than 5,000 people.

From new barbecues, bike tracks and walking trails to club and community hall upgrades, the grants will support towns to bring to life projects that celebrate community spirit and make a positive difference to locals.

The first round of the Tiny Towns Fund is already supporting more than 200 projects in over 180 towns across regional Victoria and outer metropolitan areas with $7 million provided in grant funding.

Works in the northern town of Rochester to upgrade the Rochester Go Kart Club will provide an even better experience to connect, race and celebrate.

In Mortlake in the Great South Coast region, the restoration of the Thomas Montgomery Pavilion will support more local events that will uplift the town’s identity and social scene.

The Tiny Towns Fund is backing stronger communities by enhancing local towns, boosting livability and local jobs and creating more reasons for people to visit Victoria’s vibrant towns.
