The Shop Facade Upgrade Program encourages business and property owners to enhance their street appeal by making small improvements to the public facade of their business.

The program aims to encourage the creation of attractive facades and to enhance the character of the region, which could have significant economic benefits. High-quality, well maintained frontages contribute towards a strong sense of identity, make our streets feel safer, and are more inviting for local residents and visitors.

The program is open to any business in a Township, Township Activity Centre or Suburban Activity Centre zone that has a street frontage. You can search your zone in the South Australian Property and Planning Atlas at www.sappa.plan.sa.gov.au

Council allocates up to $20,000 per financial year to the program. Grants of up to $4,000 may be awarded to businesses to improve their business facade. Grants are awarded on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $4,000 unless special circumstances apply. The value of work must exceed $1,000.

Application can be made at any time throughout the year.
