The Community Grants Program is a wonderful initiative which enables Council to provide support to community and sporting groups.

Due to the growing demand for Council support, the program has been reviewed and updated to make it an even more equitable process for everyone.

Council will be heavily supporting the community to take advantage of the Community Grants Program and one-on-one sessions can be arranged with Council’s Community Development Manager to discuss the application process.

Groups will be able to apply for funding under three separate rounds during:

• 1 June to 29 June 2021
• 27 September to 25 October 2021
• 1 February to 1 March 2022

Once the grant round has closed:

• The internal grant assessment panel will meet for assessment;
• The decision will go to Council meeting for endorsement; and
• Applicants will be notified after the Council meeting.

All community and sporting groups wishing to apply for the Community Grants Program must ensure their application is submitted within the ‘round dates’. Applications submitted outside of the ‘round dates’ will not be accepted.  Please refer to 'round dates' listed above.

Please see the related documents section below for the Community Grants Program Guidelines, Application Form, Acquittal Form and some example templates that may be resourceful when planning your event.

Once the form has been completed please sign and return it to Community Development:
