The Minns Labor Government is delivering better communities across NSW with a major boost to the 2025–26 Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.
Funding has increased to $13.5 million, more than $2 million higher than last year to support upgrades and maintenance across the state’s Crown land reserves.
“It was great to see funding through this grant in 2024 to tackle noxious weeds at Mangrove Creek Recreation Reserve and it would be wonderful to see more funding delivered to our community in the future,” said Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch.
“Local councils, community groups, and showgrounds manage Crown land reserves and facilities that are often the backbone of our community and I encourage eligible organisations to apply.”
Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said “The Minns Labor Government is committed to building better communities across NSW and the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund keeps public reserves safe, vibrant and accessible.
“Investing in Crown reserves helps to support local industry and enrich the cultural, sporting and recreational life of our communities across the state.”
In a move to help deliver more local projects, the Minns Labor Government has also halved the minimum general grant amount to $50,000, making it easier for Crown land managers to apply for smaller, high-impact projects.
