Building Blocks Government Grants
Since launching in 2020, the Victorian Government’s Building Blocks grants have helped local councils and other not-for-profit providers build, expand, and modernise early learning centres and kindergartens across the state. Schools considering these opportunities should submit strong proposals highlighting the long-term educational benefits of outdoor learning spaces, including how these environments support sustainability and nature-based play. Building Blocks funding is available to renovate or upgrade new and existing kinders. See the transformation here.
Assistance with landscape plans and grant applications
A successful grant application requires careful planning and attention to detail. Our landscape design and project manager, Peter O’Neill, understands the grant process and has assisted facilities across Melbourne in meeting the guidelines and designing the project to secure funding and upgrade their playgrounds and equipment.
Creating a compelling case for funding
It’s essential to provide relevant and accurate information while presenting a compelling case for why your early learning facility deserves the funding for the upgrade. We’ll help you focus on how the improvements will positively impact the quality of early childhood education and benefit the children and the community.
The 2024-25 application period has concluded, so checking for future funding rounds is essential. Sign up for updates on future funding rounds at the Vic Gov Building Blocks Grants Improvement page. Consult the official Early Childhood Grants page for the most current information and application timelines.
