Crown Reserves Improvement Fund 2025-26 OPEN
This year, the Crown Reserve Improvement Fund has increased to $13.5 million, more than $2 million higher than last year to support upgrades and maintenance across the state’s Crown land reserves.
In a move to help deliver more local projects, the Minns Labor Government has also halved the minimum general grant amount to $50,000, making it easier for Crown land managers to apply for smaller, high-impact projects that make a big difference to their communities.
The Crown Reserves Improvement Fund supports repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that strengthen the local economies and enhance the cultural, sporting and recreational life of NSW.
Applications Close 5:00pm AEDT on 5 December 2025
