PERTH businesses are being encouraged to apply for a Business Grants Program run by the City of Perth.
Matched Funding Business Grants are intended to support creative projects in the City by meeting financial contributions from private enterprises working projects to activate under-used space, capital investments such as building fit-outs or restoration, or aesthetic improvements.
Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi said the City would match funds of up to $20,000 from successful applicants to recognise the contribution businesses make to the cityscape.
