Riverina MP and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said projects funded would deliver social benefits as part of the Federal Liberal and Nationals Government's commitment to building stronger regions nationwide.
"Our local communities are the heart of this great country and the investment in local projects under the Stronger Communities Programme is about invigorating these communities according to local priorities and making sure they continue to succeed well into the future," Mr McCormack said.
"Successful applicants in the past include funding to install shade sails at a playground in Caragabal, new bathroom facilities for the Cootamundra Girl Guides, outdoor fitness stations at The Rock and restoring the roof of the Shaw Street Children's Centre in Wagga Wagga.
"I urge all eligible Riverina and Central West organisations to submit an expression of interest."
Expressions of Interest are open until 5pm on Wednesday 4 September. A consultation committee will help Mr McCormack assess those who express interest.
Expressions of interest should include a short description of the project, total cost, details of matching funding or in-kind contribution, why the project is important to the community and contact details.
Expressions of Interest forms can be requested by emailing michael.mccormack.mp@aph.gov.au or by contacting the Wagga Wagga electorate office on 6921 4600.
All applicants must have an ABN and be an incorporated entity.
