The Victorian Government’s Multicultural Business Precinct Revitalisation Program has awarded 37 grants totalling more than $6 million.
These grants support local councils to deliver improvements to multicultural business precincts across Victoria, benefiting local economies and communities.
Grant amounts range from $50,000 up to $250,000 per precinct. Local councils are making a co-contribution of at least 20% of the grant value towards each project.
Local councils are working in collaboration with business associations and traders for successful delivery.
Further information about the program can be found at the program webpage.
