Funding and approval
Funding your proposal
When securing funding for your project, consider the:
- upfront delivery costs
- ongoing costs to manage and maintain solutions.
You should also consider:
- funding your project through your organisation's annual budget(s)
- seeking funding support for delivery through NSW and Commonwealth grants programs. These programs are unlikely to provide ongoing funding for operations and maintenance. To explore this option, visit:
- partnering with non-government organisations to achieve funding.
Using your plans from the design stage you can make a case for investment. For more information, refer to establishing costs and benefits.
The approval process for your project will principally depend on:
- your source of funding
- the project's governance structure
- your organisation, and other organisations involved.
Planning approval pathways
Depending on the extent of your project and its physical assets, your project may also need planning approvals to proceed.
