Northern Beaches council has announced placemaking grant applications for Sydney WorldPride 2023 are now open.

Aiming to encourage the community to deliver activations that promote community participation and celebrate what will be Sydney’s first WorldPride, Northern Beaches locals can apply for a number of grants.

Grant requests can be as small as $500 to decorate a shop front or up to $4,000 to hold a mini street festival or paint a mural.

Grants for larger amounts can be submitted and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Council says it will seek to support the delivery of new and innovative activations, as well as the adaption of existing activities to support Sydney WorldPride 2023 on the Northern Beaches.

Applications will close at 2.00pm on Tuesday 15 November.
