About the Uptown Program

Uptown is a two-stage program designed to fast-track the formation of local business communities in Greater Sydney and facilitate their growth into vibrant 24-hour economy districts.

Stage 1: Uptown Accelerator

The Accelerator will offer teams of businesses representing a distinct geographical area (District Teams) with a capability and connection building program that will:

  • align teams around a vision for their district
  • develop a unique brand for marketing the district
  • provide incorporation and governance support
  • equip teams to secure partners and sponsors
  • develop grant writing skills for the team
  • build a pitch to attract investment into their district.

The Accelerator will require Teams to commit approximately 30 hours in total.

By completing the Accelerator, District Teams will be invited to a Pitch Night to present their districts to commercial partners including brands, businesses, and government agencies.

Stage 2: Uptown Grant Program

By completing the Accelerator, District Teams will have the opportunity to apply for seed funding through the Uptown Grant Program (stage 2) at a later date and subject to meeting the relevant criteria.
