GRANT PROGRAM
Bringing our city spaces to life 2
Pulse Townsville Grant ProgramCouncil wants to showcase Townsville’s unique culture and promote the city as a great place to live, work, play, visit and invest. We are offering funding for innovative and creative ideas to get our cities heart pumping and make our streets and public spaces pulse through the creation of vibrant spaces and places.
The Pulse Townsville Grants are an opportunity for businesses, community groups, innovators, trendsetters and entrepreneurs to receive funding to assist with new projects and ideas that encourage visitation to the city and ignite the city heart.
To be eligible for funding, the project/placemaking/activation etc. would need to be delivered within Townsville’s City Activation Zone (refer to map).
THE GRANTS AIM TO:• Create enduring partnerships;
• Inspire participation;
• Encourage community-based placemaking and activities within the city;
• Create connections with the Waterfront;
• Improve the look and feel of the city;
• Create unique city destinations;
• Create colourful, active, interesting, safe, comfortable, enjoyable city places; and
• Create public art, street art and innovative activities.

PLACEMAKINGPlacemaking inspires people to reimagine and reinvent public spaces, improving a neighbourhood or city and reinforcing it as the heart of the community.
Council’s aims to create through Placemaking:
• Unique and vibrant spaces and places within the city centre;
• Empowered communities and strong partnerships;
• Connect property owners, traders and residents and their attachment to the city; and
• Strengthening the connection between people and explore the places they share.
WHY ENCOURAGE PLACEMAKING?
• The greatest cities in the world are full of many unique spaces and great places with strong individual character.
• Spaces only become great places if people use them.
• Those who use a place are often in the best position to know what a place should look and feel like. Council believes these people should have input into the way places are planned, funding is allocated and services are provided.
• The Pulse Townsville Grant Program creates a sustainable way for the community and council to work together towards a joint passion for the city.
