Applications are now open for the next round of the Tiny Towns Fund, offering grants of up to $50,000 for projects in Victorian towns with fewer than 5,000 residents.

The funding supports local initiatives that attract visitors, enhance public spaces, or strengthen community connections. Nearly 350 projects have already been delivered across more than 300 small towns, including an accessible equestrian ramp at the Glenlyon Recreation Reserve.

Applications close Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Find out more at Find out more at rdv.vic.gov.au/tiny-towns-fund.
