Our Community Funding Program provides grants to support projects, events and activities that benefit the local community.

Attention

Due to the Caretaker Conventions for Local Government Elections, the next Community Funding Program round will open in February 2019.

In accordance with the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, the Council will enter a statutory Caretaker Period from the close of Council nominations on 18 September 2018 until the results have been declared at the conclusion of the elections.

During this period all current Elected Members and Council staff must comply with the Council’s Caretaker Policy which restricts Council from making certain decisions, including the administration of grants.
