26 March 2026

Thank you for sharing your ideas for the Tiny Towns Grants program. We appreciate the effort, creativity, and passion you have shown for your community. Your ideas help shape the future of our region, and we value your contribution.

We received 140 submissions, showcasing a diverse range of wonderful and innovative ideas. This reflects the commitment of our community to making our towns even better places to live, work, and visit.

All ideas were reviewed and shortlisted.

The two ideas that were chosen were:

  • Marong Township Streetscape Beautification
  • Michie Street, Elmore Playspace Upgrade

These ideas were chosen as they were the best fit with the grant criteria. City staff are also exploring alternative funding opportunities for some other project ideas.

We've submitted the grant applications. We will let the community know if we receive funding.
