What does the scheme support?
Infrastructure for Community Urban Farms, allotment gardening and outreach facilities, and hands-on horticulture programmes for seniors, persons with special needs and low-income individuals or families.

Key conditions
Infrastructure applicants must have successfully tendered for a pre-identified site, provide allotment gardening and reach at least 500 people per year, with a five-year undertaking period. Programming applications require at least 120 unique participants. Approval is required before works begin.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
Applications start through NParks' SECUF query and assessment process. The directory records availability to 31 March 2028 or earlier fund exhaustion.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is: A raiSE social enterprise with a viable community-farm or horticulture programme model and clear beneficiary outreach commitments.
A weak fit is: A commercial urban farm without the required social-enterprise membership and community outcomes.
