Do you have a great project or initiative that you consider will have a positive impact on your local neighbourhood within the City of Busselton?

The You Choose community funding program offers a total of $100,000 in smaller grants of up to $20,000 to selected community projects. It’s for community led projects or initiatives that help you to add to your neighbourhood, or the broader community neighbourhood.


This program differs from other City community funding programs in 3 key ways:

• The criteria for funding is broad and enables a wide range of ideas to be brought forward;

• The whole community can participate in determining which programs are funded; and

• You have control – as ownership and delivery of the project rests entirely with the community applicant


‘You Choose’ the ideas you want to put forward and following an assessment to ensure they are safe, legal and in keeping with the spirit of the program, they are put to the community to consider and vote on.

Then, ‘You Choose’ as a community which projects are funded. The most popular projects, as voted by the community, are then considered by Council. If you’re successful you’ll get to work with your team to turn your idea into reality. The You Choose community funding program runs every two years.

Applications for the 2025/26 Program open now!

Submissions close 4pm 9 November 2025.
