The Stronger Country Communities Fund will provide at least $50 million for projects aimed at young people (12-24 years) with the remaining funding for other local infrastructure, street beautification and community programs and events.
"The Stronger Country Communities Fund has already delivered infrastructure projects for Oxley and this additional funding for youth and community projects is great news," Mrs Pavey said.
"Hundreds of projects are being worked on right across regional NSW and this new SCCF round will create yet more much-needed facilities."
Applications open on July 1 and successful projects will be announced from January onwards.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, John Barilaro MP, said the Stronger Country Communities Fund is open to applications from all 93 regional Local Government Areas.
"Since we first rolled out the Stronger Country Communities Fund in 2017, the NSW Liberals & Nationals in Government have worked with councils to allocate funding to more than 1,000 projects."
