WestInvest

WestInvest is a $5 billion NSW Government program to fund transformational infrastructure projects across 15 Western Sydney Councils, including Campbelltown.

Under the program, a $3 billion NSW Government Project Fund will deliver ready-to-go projects that will benefit local communities across Western Sydney, delivered by NSW Government agencies.

In May, Councils and community organisations were invited to apply for a share of $2 billion from a Community Project Fund.

This included a guaranteed $26.6 million allocated directly to Council and the opportunity for Council and community organisations to apply for a share of $1.6 billion from a competitive round of grants.
