The Permit/Plug/Play grant initiative commenced in 2024 with the Pilot – an $8.5 million partnership grant program currently supporting 17 pilot councils across NSW.
The initiative is a part of the NSW Government’s Vibrant Streets Package, an over $40 million investment in transforming streets into thriving local places to support the community, businesses and the creative sector.
Here are the 17 councils in NSW which have these new grants to play with. Get in touch with them:
