The Placemaking Grant for WorldPride 2023 is underpinned by a philosophy of partnership, whereby Council will seek to support the delivery of new and innovative activations, as well as the adaption of existing activities to support Sydney WorldPride 2023 on the Northern Beaches.
The Program aims to encourage the community to deliver activations that promote community participation and celebrate WorldPride in our villages and town centres.
Grant requests can be as small as $500 to decorate a shop front in celebration of WorldPride or up to $4,000 to hold a mini street festival or paint a mural. Grants for larger amounts can be submitted and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Further information can be found within the Guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions.
