The Northern Water Community Grants Program is open to Far North, Upper Spencer Gulf and Eyre Peninsula residents to enhance the region.
There are two grant categories:
- Community Investment: Up to $10,000 in funding to support community-led initiatives enhancing the project benefits in the region.
- Local Grants: Up to $5,000 in funding to invest in community capital, enhance community resilience, and improve community outcomes.
Chief Executive of Infrastructure SA Jeremy Conway says as the Northern Water Project progresses, so too does community engagement.
“We’re into the next phase of doing the feasibility studies leading to the final investment decision and we’ve got some fairly material capital committed to this phase of the project, and so as this project’s progressing, we think now is the right time to try and make sure we’re engaging fully with the community,” Conway says.
He adds that it’s the obligation of any material project to leave a community better off.
“Northern Water is going to be a great opportunity for the region, and so we just want to make sure that we maximise the opportunities for benefitting the local community where the project resides.”

Submissions for Round One close on 31 May, and each quarter, another $30,000 will become available.
