Member for Davidson, Jonathan O'Dea today urged organisations to apply for the 2011 Community Building Partnership program before applications close in a fortnight.

Mr O'Dea said the deadline is fast approaching, with applications for the CBP Program closing on Monday 31 October.

“The Community Building Partnerships are vital for moving local projects forward and upgrading essential services,” Mr O'Dea said.

“I recommend those organisations yet to apply for this important program to make sure they meet the deadline.

“Projects deemed eligible inject jobs into the region - and boost community participation in a range of programs and facilities.

“Successful applicants must be ready to start work by mid-2012 and projects need to be completed by the end of June 2013.

“The Premier Barry O’Farrell has allocated $35 million to this initiative which means $300,000 is available for each electoral district.

 “The successful projects in Davidson will be announced by the Premier in March,” Mr O'Dea said.

Applications can be made online at www.communitybuildingpartnership.nsw.gov.au
