Administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries’ Office of Multicultural Interests, the 2024-25 CCWF grants have been awarded to the highest number of recipients to date, which includes 43 CaLD community associations and one community service provider.
The grants fund capital works projects for facilities owned or managed by CaLD community associations, the majority of which are volunteer-run, and CaLD community service providers based in Western Australia.
A total of $3.5 million grant funding will go towards the construction of nine new buildings, a category included in the 2024-25 funding round for the first time.
In addition, $9.7 million of grant funding has been allocated to 35 projects to refurbish existing facilities, such as bathroom and toilet upgrades, building extensions and the installation of air-conditioner systems.
CCWF grants will assist with improving facilities that are hubs for CaLD communities and used for diverse activities such as language schools, cultural events and programs and the provision of culturally appropriate services.
