The NSW Government is seeking applications for cultural infrastructure projects that will
benefit audiences and improve access to arts and cultural facilities across NSW.

Minister for the Arts Ben Franklin said the Minor Works and Equipment Projects Round Two
grants, delivered through the Creative Capital program, demonstrate the NSW
Government’s commitment to invest in projects that reinforce the State’s position as the
leading arts and culture hub in Australia.

Women looking for work will be able to apply for grants of up to $5,000 to fund technology,
training and work essentials to help them return to the workforce, thanks to a $32 million
investment in the recent NSW Budget.

Member for Manly James Griffin MP encouraged eligible women to apply for the Return to
Work Program and tailored support from a Return to Work Coordinator.

“This is an opportunity for the women of Manly to build the confidence and financial
independence they need to return to the workforce,” Mr Griffin said.

Community Housing Providers will receive relief from rent rises in the private market with an immediate $7.5 million funding boost to keep properties available for social housing tenants.

The additional investment from the NSW Government will be used to retain rental properties that are home to families in social housing who have not been affected by the rising private market rents.

Member for Manly, James Griffin MP said that this is a welcome relief for local community housing providers in the Northern Beaches whose private rental properties used to assist clients are subject to increased rent.
