  • Main Street Activation Grants

    Purpose

    These grants are to help attract visitors to the Margaret River Main Street and encourage people to linger longer during the construction phase, with the major aim of supporting traders on the street during this challenging time.  The pool of six grants provides up to $1,000 per grant, depending upon the idea you have in mind.

    Examples of 'activation' of the Main Street include: 

    • mini-events, live music, silent disco, fun activities, roaming dinners
    • a rewards card program, map of the street, late night shopping events
    • coordinated window displays, light projections, artwork or commercial fairy lights to highlight the alleyways linking Ned Higgins to the Main Street, etc. 
    If you have an idea to help liven up the Main Street during the works and need some financial backing then apply for a grant here.


    Who can apply?
    Businesses on the Margaret River Main Street, and organisations or individuals with an ABN who can demonstrate support from Main Street traders for their idea.
