Community Car and Coach Fund
Community Car and Coach Fund 2021-22
Status: CLOSED
Applications closed at 5:00 pm on Monday 30 August 2021.
The details of the successful applicants will be made publicly available at www.communities.tas.gov.au. Unsuccessful applicants will receive a letter advising they have been unsuccessful, with details of how to request feedback on their application.
Overview
The Community Car and Coach Fund will help communities to purchase vehicles to provide local transport for access to essential services, connecting people to employment, education, health and wellbeing services, social and other support networks - particularly in Tasmania’s regional communities where other transport options may be more limited.
The Fund will support local solutions that provide direct transport support to disadvantaged Tasmanians or groups.
Organisations can apply for funding for a car, a minivan or a mini-bus to meet the needs of their community. The service offered by the applicant using the funded vehicle(s) will be at the applicant’s expense including the ongoing cost of the vehicle.
The Tasmanian Government is providing $500 000 to the Fund, to be administered as grants to successful applicants.
Eligible vehicles
Funding must be used to purchase a new car, minivan or mini-bus from a reputable dealer that operates in Tasmania.
The vehicle must meet all Tasmanian road safety standards and be suitable to provide direct transport support to disadvantaged Tasmanians or groups.
All applicants are encouraged to consider Electric Vehicles (EVs) where possible and EVs will be considered favourably under this program.
Successful recipients must not receive delivery of the vehicle(s) until insurance arrangements have been put in place for the full replacement cost of the vehicle(s).
