The purpose of the Main Street Building Fund is to enhance the vibrancy and character of CBD areas in New Plymouth District. The fund helps commercial property owners, or their tenants, improve the look of their buildings, making them more attractive to potential customers or tenants and creating a more appealing CBD environment.
Grants can contribute up to one third of the total project cost for:
- Façade painting, including signage
- Installation of decorative lighting, verandas and appropriate architectural features
- Removal of unsightly features that do not fit the style of the building
- Repairs to architectural details, masonry, and other external features
Please note if your building has heritage status you must apply to the Built Cultural Heritage Protection Fund.
Please read the guidelines for this fund before applying. If you have any questions contact grants@npdc.govt.nz.
