The Community Funding Scheme provides grants of up to $6,000 to not-for-profit community groups for programs and services that benefit local residents and helps to achieve the strategic priorities of Council.
Does your community group have an idea for a project which:
- meets locals needs
- strengthens community relationships
- aligns with the scheme priorities of: accessibility, diversity and fairness; economic benefit to local towns; environmental sustainability and conservation; health and wellbeing
- complements strategic Council directions and plans
If yes, your group should consider applying for a community grant from Council in the next available round.
This year's scheme is now closed. Applications will open again in 2019.
