Our annual community grants program offers grants of up to $10,000 for projects bringing social, road safety and environmental benefits to communities in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane near Transurban's roads.

Grants are open to a wide range of organisations and initiatives, and we encourage inclusion, diversity of thought and innovation.

Applications for 2024 are now closed.
