Community Building Partnership (CBP) 2026 Grant Program - Canterbury 

Welcome to the CBP 2026 Program for the Electoral District of Canterbury. 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 2026 CBP funding in the electoral district of Canterbury. 

Electoral District Priorities 

The Electorate of Canterbury is home to the suburbs of Belmore, Beverly Hills, Campsie, Canterbury, Clemton Park, Earlwood, Kingsgrove, Lakemba, Roselands, Wiley Park. There are over 99,000 residents in the electorate.

The community is culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) with less than half the population born in Australia. Many languages are spoken in homes with a mix of ancestries including Chinese, Greek, Lebanese, Bangladeshi and Nepalese. My community supports marginalised groups and recently arrived migrants. These are assisted by the outstanding, local and hard-working community organisations.

The goal of the awarding of the grants should be to provide the opportunity for the recipient to meet the needs of their community by delivering positive outcomes for their community and the wider electorate.

  • Infrastructure upgrades to support places of worship, seniors, early education facilities.
  • Infrastructure projects that support and respond to increasing heat and climate change e.g. water fountains, air conditioning and cooling systems.
  • Infrastructure projects that support repairs and maintenance.
  • Projects that support purchase of equipment to support P&C’s and other organisations
