Community Grants
Each year our Community Grants support programs and projects that will develop and enhance the social, cultural and environmental experience of local residents, specifically projects that:
- Encourage arts, cultural and heritage experiences in our community
- Provide accessible and equitable services, spaces and programs
- Encourage healthy behaviour and lifestyles
- Support a resilient community
- Improve engagement in the community
A total of $160,000 is available for projects, with a minimum of $20,000 of the above will be dedicated to community history, including rural community history boards and memorial information. Community organisations are welcome to apply for up to $10,000, however funding for projects most commonly falls between $1000 and $6000.
The Community Grants Program for 2024/25 are open from 15 May - 2 July, and will be announced following the September Council Meeting
