Facade Improvement Program

The Facade Improvement Program (FIP) encourages City of Logan owners and tenants to enhance their facades and help improve street appeal.

This is part of a strategy to revitalise buildings and streetscapes in eligible areas/selected urban centres.

Council will contribute $2 for every $1 invested by successful applicants up to a maximum of $10,000 to deliver the facade enhancements.

Applications for the Logan Facade Improvement Program Round 2 funding were open between 3 February 2023 and Friday 5 May 2023. At present there is no plans for a third round of the program, however Council approved the intent to create a broader Place Making Incentive Program that may include facade improvements opportunities. Council will communicate any future funding opportunities when the new program is launched.

What type of works will be funded?

1. Painting of building facade, windows and awnings

2. Awnings or shade devices

3. External materials or detailing

4. Improving accessibility

5. Signage upgrades

6. Decluttering facade e.g. removal/screening of air conditioning units or removal of roller shutters or security grilles

7. Enhancement of heritage features

8. Greening of facade

9. Upgrade of screens or fencing

10. Improved lighting
