Strengthening Rural Communities – Rebuilding Regional Communities

The Rebuilding Regional Communities SRC funding stream has now closed – there will be no further funding rounds.

The Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) Rebuilding Regional Communities (RRC) stream gives small remote, rural and regional communities across Australia the opportunity to access funds for a broad range of initiatives that directly and clearly benefit local communities.

Recognising the impacts of COVID-19 on communities, the Australian Government partnered with FRRR to distribute $5 million from 2022 to 2024 to support community-led initiatives that:

  • Enhanced the process of recovery of remote, rural and regional communities from the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Reduced social isolation and fostered stronger, more resilient remote, rural and regional communities; and/or
  • Sustained local remote, rural and regional organisations and their work.

Changes coming to FRRR’s online granting system

Significant upgrades to the software system that FRRR uses to manage grant applications and acquittals means that FRRR will soon begin moving to the new system.
