Economic Activation Partnerships

Economic Activation Partnerships create mutually beneficial agreements with Community organisations to support the delivery of economic activation outcomes for Townsville. Benefits may include enhancement of the profile of Townsville; fostering community pride; and driving job creation and growth in the local government area.

This program is focused on enabling ongoing successful activities through the provision of annual or multi-year funding. Funding for a multi-year agreement is for a maximum of three years.

Economic Activation Partnerships are most suited to community organisations that have a proven working history with Council and seek funding and/or in-kind support to facilitate activities which grow Townsville.
