Auburn - CBP 2026

Community Building Partnership (CBP) 2026 Grant Program - Auburn

Welcome to the CBP 2026 Program for the Electoral District of Auburn. This program provides an opportunity for local community organisations and councils to strengthen the wellbeing of NSW communities through small local infrastructure projects.

The local Member of Parliament (MP) has prepared the below summary of the electoral district priorities to provide guidance to applicants considering lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) for CBP funding in the electoral district of Auburn.

Electoral District Priorities

The electorate’s priorities for CBP 2026 applications focus on strengthening community infrastructure through targeted capital works that support ongoing use, safety, and long-term sustainability. Maintaining and upgrading existing community facilities is essential to prevent deterioration, address compliance and accessibility needs, and ensure that well-used spaces continue to serve residents effectively. Projects that deliver structural improvements, renew ageing assets, or enhance the capacity of key community hubs are strongly encouraged.

At the same time, there is a commitment to supporting new or expanding communities through investment in facilities that meet emerging social, cultural, and recreational needs. Capital works that provide long-term benefit, improve community participation, or create inclusive and resilient public spaces will be prioritised.

While CBP funding should primarily support capital improvements, equipment funding remains an eligible and valuable component. Applications for equipment will be considered where the items enable organisations to deliver essential services, expand community access, or enhance safety.

Preference will be given to equipment requests from newly established communities or organisations serving low socio-economic areas, where modest investments can translate into meaningful and immediate impact.

Overall, the focus is on preserving existing assets, enabling sustainable community growth, and ensuring equitable access to high-quality facilities and resources across the electorate.
