As Sydney emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic, the city is set for more live music and cultural performances, pop-up theatre productions, dance festivals, art shows and installations.
The City of Sydney last night approved more than $3 million in support for projects that will boost Sydney’s Covid recovery and help build and sustain the social, cultural and economic life of the city.
The City of Sydney has selected 111 projects across eight grants programs for their capacity to meet emerging needs of local communities and priorities for Sydney’s future during 2021/2022.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the grants round included support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, assistance for creative industry professionals, a mentorship program to support Asian students and the regeneration of urban spaces in the city to provide shading and reduce the heat island effect.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore Said:
As we emerge from lockdown and begin our recovery from the pandemic, these projects will foster and celebrate Sydney’s culture and creativity, support the local economy, and encourage sustainability and business growth.
We want to help our communities survive and recover from the impacts of the pandemic, but also ensure that we’re creating a better, more resilient city in the process.
Projects that will benefit from the latest round of grant funding include:
The City of Sydney’s grants and sponsorship Program supports projects that build the social, cultural, environmental and economic life of the city and assist in the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
All grant applications are assessed under strict guidelines to ensure the projects meet the City of Sydney’s objectives and the goals of the community recovery and Sustainable Sydney 2030 plans.
The next round of the City of Sydney’s grants and sponsorships program opens in February 2022.
