Hume City Shopfront Improvement Grant Program

Hume City Council is keen to support local retail and hospitality businesses to create fresh facades for their shopfronts.

The Shopfront Improvement Program offers grants of up to $5000 (plus GST) to improve the presentation of shopfronts, which will add to the overall streetscape, visual appeal and help to drive foot trade.

The shopfront must be in a shopping strip in Hume and not located inside of a shopping centre.

Are you ready to transform your shopfront? If your shop needs a makeover, this is the grant for you!
Some examples of what may be funded under this project include:

  • improved accessibility – installing automatic doors and installing a wheelchair ramp
  • awning and canopies
  • planter boxes
  • lighting
  • new signage or replacing old signage (in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements)
  • painting the facade of the shop
  • redecorating exterior shopfront walls
  • upgrades to windows and doors
  • window decals.

Applications can be made by owners of retail and hospitality businesses.

Please read the 2024/25 Hume City Shopfront Improvement Grant Program Information Booklet(PDF, 312KB) before starting your application.

Please note you do NOT need to attend a workshop to apply for a Shopfront Improvement grant.
