Arc Infrastructure is proud to introduce a refreshed Community Grants Program that strengthens the way we support the towns and regions connected to our freight rail network. Our network runs through several regions across Western Australia, and these communities play an essential role in our operations.
The new Community Grants Program brings together our former Community and Regional Partnership levels into a single Local Partnerships model. This updated approach allows us to better support grassroots initiatives that make a meaningful difference in areas such as rail safety, emergency services, community health and wellbeing and liveable and sustainable communities. The simpler, annual grant intake also creates a more equitable opportunity for local groups to access funding and ensures our support is delivered in a clear and consistent way.
While this program has been refreshed, our Principal Partnership program will remain unchanged. Principal Partnerships continue to support long-term, multi‑regional organisations that deliver significant benefits across Western Australia. The Community Grants Program complements this by focusing on smaller, locally driven initiatives that directly support the towns surrounding our rail network.
The first intake of the Community Grants Program will open on Monday 23 March 2026 and close on Monday 20 April 2026. Key dates and application details will be available on our
Community Grants web page here.
We look forward to supporting new ideas, local projects and community‑led initiatives through this refreshed program. By continuing to invest in the communities along our network, we aim to build a safer, stronger and more connected Western Australia.
If you know a local organisation that would benefit from this program, we encourage you to share this opportunity or direct them to our application page.
