Town Team Movement, in partnership with the State Government and the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA), are thrilled to announce the Streets Alive program. The program funded from the State Funds for Local Government Roads consist of $5 million over 5 years for capacity building and support for eligible community organisations and local governments for projects designed to calm traffic on local roads in urban areas across WA.
There are two streams of funding:
- Stream 1 offers ‘seed’ grants of $5,000 inc GST in all towns and neighbourhoods across WA for eligible community groups; and
- Stream 2 offers grants of $50,000 inc GST and $100,000 inc GST in all towns and neighbourhoods across WA for eligible community groups and LGAs.
Preliminary program details of Stream 1 grants for eligible community groups are now available and open to project registration here.
Details of Stream 2 grants for eligible community organisations and LGAs will be released in May 2024.
Town Team Movement have developed a ’Safer Speeds and Better Places’ toolkit available for free download here which provides ideas through case studies. The toolkit was an initiative funded by proceeds of fines issued from automated enforcement administered by the Road Safety Commission.

Register your Project Idea!
We’re looking for ideas from community members and local governments to bring our streets to life to bring people closer and calm traffic. Do you have a project idea to bring our streets to life?
To be invited to submit a grant application for a Seed Grant, you must register your project idea.
Wonderful things happen when people are encouraged to bring more colour and vibrancy to their streets; life feels more energetic and fun, sure, but more than that – people feel closer to each other. Another thing happens too: cars slow down, so streets not only become more enjoyable, they become safer. And isn’t sustainable, safe and connected what we all want our local towns and neighbourhoods, our homes to be?
