Grants funding process
Riverbank funding is a competitive process undertaken in two stages:
Stage One
Call for EOIs. Project proposals which offer best value and achieve the desired outcomes in addressing foreshore issues across the river system will be selected. Funding for successful projects will be conditional at this stage.
Stage Two
Riverbank officers will work with successful applicants from Stage One to establish collaborative arrangements between parties. It is through the establishment of these arrangements that the final project details, including a project schedule, and detailed budget arrangements will be negotiated.
How to apply
The application period for the 2026-27 Riverbank funding round opened on 24 February 2026 and closed at 4pm on 21 April 2026.
