## 30 October 2026: Growing Regions Guide launched

We launched this independent guide to the Growing Regions Program. As at today, Round 3 is a forecast opportunity (FO20260609): grants of $250,000 to $15 million, from $750 million over three years, shared between Growing Regions and Thriving Suburbs (2026–27 Budget). Guidelines are expected from late 2026. The funded projects database covers Round 1; Round 2 projects are next.

Checked on 30 October 2026.
