Community Grants Program
Council recognises that community groups provide important and valued community and social benefits to the district. Council also recognises the importance of supporting local individuals in pursuing personal achievement in their chosen field.
Funding community, cultural and recreational activities, events and services enables individuals and groups to work in partnership with Council in meeting community needs. The program also supports communities that value creativity, innovation, access and participation, as well as supporting individual residents striving in their field.
