Small Projects Funding

The Outback Communities Authority (the Authority) is committed to funding projects that improve the liveability of communities in Outback SA.

The Small Projects Funding Policy and Procedures supports:

• the implementation of specific small projects that do not require recurrent funding
• the effective and efficient use of available funds and resources
• funds being used for their intended purposes
• the distribution of funds based on required criteria and objective factors such as community needs, geographical and environmental considerations, and other relevant factors
• transparency, consistency, fairness, and equity in the provision of Small Projects Funding to outback communities.

A project is to be defined by the elements of time (fixed with a start and end time), fixed cost, and quality (meets the association’s intended outcome/s).  A project manager should be allocated to your project.

Small project funding applications are accepted throughout the year, the current round of applications is scheduled for assessment in September 2024.

A fillable application form can be found here. This user-friendly format will enable you to type directly into the form, eliminating the need for handwritten submissions.

Please save the filled in form with your Association’s name in the file name then email the completed form to the OCA’s email oca@sa.gov.au.
