The grants aim to address vacant commercial spaces and aid both existing and new businesses in the area. The program will support the establishment of new businesses or the expansion of existing businesses, create employment opportunities within the CBDs, increase the occupancy rate of vacant shopfronts and stimulate economic activity and enhance the overall appeal of both CBDs.
Latrobe City Council Mayor, Councillor Dale Harriman, encouraged eligible businesses to apply for the grant "These grants will help cover capital improvement costs including furniture, flooring and painting, council fees and permits, IT and specialised equipment, software and more. Council is committed to supporting our existing local businesses, helping the creation of new businesses allowing innovation and encouraging investment within our CBDs," said the Mayor.
