Our goal

The Placemaking Grants program is an initiative that aligns with the Authority's 2025 Strategic Plan and the objectives of the City Centre Marketing and Improvements Levy (CCMIL).

By creating a compelling sense of place, we will attract workers, residents, and visitors to the City Centre and Braddon and contribute to a more connected and dynamic Canberra.

We aspire to improve perceptions of comfort and image, safety, and cleanliness in these places, encouraging economic growth and community development through a people-focused and design-led approach.

Program outcomes

The Authority’s Placemaking Grants is a funding program for eligible organisations, groups, and individuals to support placemaking projects in Canberra’s City Centre and Braddon.

The primary objective of Placemaking Grants is to develop and support the vitality of Civic, Braddon and New Acton through creative and engaging place-making initiatives that strengthen our community’s connection to public spaces and encourage visitation.
