$800K up for grabs for Newcastle inner City businesses
July 13, 2021
Projects that are designed to draw people into Newcastle and make the city even more vibrant can now apply for a share in $800,000.
The funding is through Newcastle City Council’s Special Business Rate (SBR) program that uses levies paid by business owners for the promotion, beautification and development of precincts in the City Centre/Darby Street, Hamilton, Mayfield, New Lambton and Wallsend.
The next round of funding is now open with the $800,000 available for businesses specifically in the City Centre and Darby Street area.
More than $1.6 million was distributed through the SBR program in 2020/21 to 19 projects successful under the contestable funding rounds, as well as funding and support services for Business Improvements Associations in the five precincts.
