The Place Activation Grants program is a new initiative designed to support the current activation of the Maroochydore City Centre through community-led place- making activities and art installations that strengthen community connection to public spaces and encourage visitation to the site.

Recipient projects of the $10,000 grants align with the capacity building and grass roots focus of the program through the five place activation pillars of Future City, Culture Catalyst, Local Global, Living Lab and Urban Wellness. At least one project is allocated to a First Nations led activity.

The Place Activation Grant Program is delivered in partnership with Walker Corporation, SunCentral and Sunshine Coast Council.
