2022 Community Local Infrastructure Recovery Package

The $207 million 2022 Community Local Infrastructure Recovery Package (2022 CLIRP) will support the medium to longer-term social recovery of local government areas impacted by the 2022 NSW Floods. 

The funding is being delivered in two stages:  

The $30 million Priority Needs Program helps the regions build back better in the medium-term, with a focus on projects that provide high social value to communities:

• Sport Priority Needs Program 

• Arts and Culture Priority Needs Program

• Aboriginal Priority Needs Program

The $177 million Essential Community Assets Program will support longer-term recovery needs through:  

• $70 million Community Assets Program  –  to address damaged community infrastructure including recreation and community facilities, parks, playgrounds, walkways and places of cultural heritage. 
• $44 million Aboriginal-owned Assets Program  –  to assist Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALCs) and Aboriginal Corporations, as they rebuild Aboriginal-owned community infrastructure. 

Additional programs are delivered by the Office of Sport through the Sport Infrastructure Recovery and Create NSW through the Arts and Cultural Assets Program.
