The City of Greater Bendigo is calling on residents from our small township communities to submit their ideas for the City to apply for funding through the Victorian Governments Tiny Towns Grant Program.
City of Greater Bendigo Director, Healthy Communities and Environments, Jess Howard, said the City want to hear from residents who live in Greater Bendigo’s small townships about their ideas for projects that could be funded through the program.
“Whether it’s a project to improve local spaces, celebrate culture, or strengthen community connections, your ideas matter,” Jess Howard said.
“By working together, we can make our local small towns even better places to live.”
Small township residents can submit their ideas through the City’s community engagement website Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo by Sunday January 4, 2026.
To meet the grant criteria the townships are required to be non-urban areas of Greater Bendigo and have a population of less than 5,000.

All submissions will be assessed against the grant guidelines and the City’s strategies and policies to ensure project ideas align with community priorities and deliver the best outcomes for Greater Bendigo.
