About local council grants in Australia

Grant programs run by Australian local councils. Councils fund community projects, events and festivals, sporting clubs, arts and small business, usually in small rounds with short application windows.

The table is sorted by what is open and closing soonest, then ongoing intakes, then programs with no published deadline, then closed rounds most recently shut. "Not stated" means the funder published no figure, not that the amount is zero, and a blank closing date means the funder published no deadline.

The purpose categories above are the ones with programs in Australian local councils: small business, community, arts, sport, training, capital works and the rest, wherever funding for them exists here. Each one opens the full national list for that purpose with closing dates attached.

Council deadlines move more often than any other layer of Australian grant funding, so every council entry here carries the date it was last checked and links straight back to the council’s own page.
