Expressions of interest for placemaking

Manningham is seeking Expressions of Interest from community organisations and individuals on small events or projects that will help bring alive their special places and for traders, support outdoor dining and community connections.

All the research shows that the most effective way to support resilience in this pandemic environment is to help people connect, and business to thrive, in their local neighbourhoods. We are supporting the 20 minute neighbourhood (walking or cycling to the things you need).

“Place making” is often community or business led. Council will allocate up to $1000 per single application to projects and events that help people connect and thrive in their place. Traders can join together for slightly larger amounts. We will make a selection that has a geographic spread across Manningham and represents a mix of projects and events that reflect our diverse community.

These EOIs will be assessed as they come in and the process will be kept open until the end of February, or until funds are exhausted. Successful applicants will need to invoice Council for their project. Visit the Your Say project for criteria and the EOI Form.
