Building Better Regions Fund Infrastructure Projects Stream
At a glance
The Round 4 Infrastructure Projects Stream supports projects which involve the construction, upgrade or extension of infrastructure in drought-affected areas. Through these projects, it aims to provide both economic and social benefits.
-
Grants are from $20,000 up to $10 million.
-
For most projects grant funding will be up to either 50% or 75% of your eligible project costs. Your location will determine the percentage of grant funding you can receive.
-
You may apply for a partial or full exemption to your contribution requirement if you can demonstrate that you are experiencing exceptional circumstances.
Who can apply?
To be eligible you must have an Australian business number (ABN).
You must be one of the following:
- an incorporated not-for-profit organisation
- an Australian local government agency or body as defined in the glossary of the grant opportunity guidelines
- non-distributing co-operative.
Applications can only be accepted where:
- your project is taking place in a drought-affected location in Australia, as outlined under 2.1.1 of the grant opportunity guidelines
- your project is located in Australia and in an eligible location unless you can clearly demonstrate the significant benefits and employment outcomes, that flow directly into an eligible area

Other criteria apply.
