Deadline extended for Adelong Street Façade Grants

Published on 14 May 2019

Businesses in Adelong’s main street now have an extra two weeks to apply for an Adelong Street Façade Grant.

Snowy Valleys Council has extended the deadline for accepting applications for the Adelong Street Façade Grant to Friday 31 May 2019.

Owners and operators of commercial buildings and businesses in Adelong are being invited to apply for up to $10,000 in funding to assist with improving the street appeal of their properties located in Tumut Street, Adelong.

Council’s Director of Strategy, Community and Development Gus Cox said the decision to extend the application deadline should assist those businesses who needed more time to get their quotes and plans together.

“We want to ensure that everyone who is eligible has the opportunity to apply and we had received some feedback that time constraints were impeding on that,” Mr Cox said. “The extension should provide the additional time for applicants to gather the necessary information required to apply”.

Snowy Valleys Council received $100,000 in funding, through the NSW Stronger Communities Fund Round 2 (SCF2) in a one-off funding program for the Adelong Main Street Façade initiative.

The Façade initiative’s purpose is to provide financial incentive to Adelong business and property owners to upgrade the exterior of their buildings. The funding guidelines outline the monies can be used for painting, signwriting, repair and clean-up of commercial buildings.

Applicants must own commercial property or a business located within Adelong’s Main Street (Tumut Street). Businesses leasing space must obtain authorisation from the building’s owner as part of the application process. Property owners and Lessee retailers may also wish to contribute additional funds to their project.

Projects must be completed by 14 December 2019 and all exterior painting must adhere to the approved Adelong Heritage colour palette.

Applications can be downloaded from Council’s website at www.svc.nsw.gov.au/Adelong-Facade-Grants and hard copies are also available from Adelong’s Bendigo Bank.

All grant applications must be received by the new time of 4.30pm on Friday 31 May 2019.
