In 2024, we successfully secured funding through Regional Development Victoria’s Tiny Towns Fund for three projects within Indigo Shire.

The Tiny Towns Fund supports local communities to deliver quality tourism and community facility projects, such as splash parks and bike trails, playgrounds, community hall and library upgrades and public art. Grants of between $5,000 and $50,000 were available and towns with populations below 5,000 people were eligible to apply.

The three projects we secured funding for are as follows.
