Council is committed to encouraging community groups in the council area to deliver projects that are of benefit to the community. The Community Grant scheme is a way of empowering communities to apply for funding to progress and improve their local area through planned assistance and equitable distribution of limited funding from council.
How often are Community Grants offered?There are usually two (2) rounds of Community Grants offered per financial year with applications being open around August/September and February/March for about 4-6 weeks.
Is there a limit to how much funding can be applied for?
The average grant amount is approximately $2,500 however larger or smaller amounts will be considered. Funds are not provided on a recurrent basis and funding success does not guarantee Council contributions in future years.
