Small Business Grants Program
Small Business Grants Program
Fremantle is open for business and to help you stay front-of-mind with customers, the City of Fremantle is launching the Small Business Grants Program supported by the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce to fund targeted, ready-to-run marketing activity for local small businesses.
Throughout 2026 the construction of the new traffic bridge will temporarily change travel patterns. Rather than talking about the closure, this program floods the market with positive, business-led content reassuring customers that Fremantle’s experiences are as good as ever. The coordinated approach builds capacity in local businesses and creates consistent, sustained visibility.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are small retail, hospitality and tourism-related businesses located within the City of Fremantle local government area. For this program, “small business” means 20 or fewer employees and annual turnover of $10 million or less.
What the grant provides
- Up to $2,000 per eligible business to create content or running paid promotions on their existing digital channels, with options for businesses to co-contribute to the marketing activity
- 1:1 guidance from a professional marketing agency to help businesses get greatest return from the grant.
Key dates
- Round 1 applications open: 1 December 2025
