Stage 2: The New Normal
Projects commence in February/March 2021
- The objectives, problem space, and evaluation criteria for both the COVID Safe Summer and The New Normal are the same
- We are interested in projects that might need coordination among government agencies and stakeholders or more detailed codesign, and would commence in early 2021.
- The appetite with Cohort 2 extends to a larger funding (up to $150,000 per project), with delivery commencing in March 2021, and available dedicated project management from TfNSW.
- Stage 2 projects will go through a more involved codesign process and we fully expect to assist applicants in bringing together local and state agencies to deliver these projects
