Love My Place Grants Program

Overview
Love My Place grants provide support to our community with an opportunity to trial new ideas through creative activities in the public realm.

This grants program aims to reactivate public space in order to support the local community and businesses.
This program also links to the Council strategic directions of:
Vibrant Port Phillip – A City that has a flourishing economy, where our community and local businesses thrive, and we maintain and enhance our reputation as one of Melbourne’s cultural and creative hubs; and
Liveable Port Phillip – A City that is a great place to live, where our community has access to high quality public spaces, development and growth are well-managed, and it is safer and easy to connect and travel within.
