Swan activation grants

Bring Swan to life.

One of the community's priorities is enlivening places that aren't being used to their full potential. Activation grants are designed to do just that.

If you have a project that will bring activity or vibrance to a Swan space, you can tell us about it via the EOI button below.

Your EOI will need to highlight how your project will:

  1. maximise community benefit
  2. address real issues
  3. most meaningfully impact Swan residents.

If your EOI fits the above priorities and indicates that you're capable of delivering on your ideas, then we will ask you to complete a full application. It will take around 21 days from EOI submission for us to confirm whether we'd like you to progress to a full application.

Full applications will be assessed around 8 weeks from the date you submit. If your full application is successful, funding will be subject to adoption of the 26/27 budget and will be paid after July 1, 2026. 

Payment can take City teams up to 30 days to process from the date of invoicing, so funds for successful applications may not be paid until July 30th at the earliest, depending on the date you return a signed Agreement and invoice.
