Upper Harbour Local Board Facilities Grant

Upper Harbour Local Board recognises the importance of quality community facilities in fostering a vibrant, connected, and resilient community.

One of the ways we can do this is by assisting sport and recreation clubs, arts and culture groups and community organisations to improve or develop new facilities to meet community needs.

Purpose of the fund

The Facilities Grant Programme provides funding to assist in the development, improvement, and renovation of community facilities that serve the Upper Harbour area.

  • Projects must relate to the development or renovation of a facility that is available for community use. Examples include:
    • feasibility study
    • needs assessment
    • facility investigate and design
    • building projects and physical works such as building maintenance and repairs, construction and site development, building improvements
    • necessary construction and development reports and fees, such as engineering, geotechnical, architectural reports and project management fees (except for council administered reports such as building and resource consents)
  •  Projects must be publicly accessible and meet a clear community need
  • Applicants must demonstrate that their project aligns with the priorities of the Upper Harbour Local Board Plan
  • There is a preference for two quotes, where practical.
