LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin is encouraging community organisations in our Electorate of Lismore to apply for a share of $500,000 through the Community Road Safety Grants program.
Ms Saffin said eligible not-for-profit and charitable organisations can apply for grants of up to $5,000 or up to $30,000 to deliver local initiatives that improve road safety outcomes in local communities.
“Community groups are in a unique position to connect with local people about local road safety issues,” Ms Saffin said.
“They can reinforce our road safety messages in targeted ways that can make a real difference in encouraging people to be safer road users.”
Since launching in 2015, the program has distributed more than $4.1 million to community organisations across NSW, backing grassroots projects that help reduce road trauma and encourage safer behaviour on our roads.
The 2026 Community Road Safety Grants program opened on Monday 24 August 2026 and closes at 4pm on Monday 28 September 2026.
The
grants form part of the Minns Labor Government’s work to improve road safety
across NSW, supporting community groups to deliver targeted initiatives that
respond to local needs.
