Additional Information

 

· Applications open on the 1 July 2023, and close 4pm, 29 April 2024, or until the funding pool is exhausted. Applications will be assessed and funded on a ‘first-in’ basis. Applicants are responsible to ensure that their application is received by council by the closing date and time.

· All applications must be received by 4pm on the round closure date to be included in the monthly assessment. Any applications received after this date will be included in the following month.

· Applicants are encouraged to contact the Community Services Department to provide a brief overview of their project. Please read the guidelines thoroughly prior to submitting your application, and make contact on (03) 6323 9200 should assistance be required.

· Outcome dates are to be used as a guide ONLY, and are subject to change. Council will attempt to advise applicants within the timeframes provided, however this may be extended due to operational procedures and availability.


There are two types of grants within the grants program;

  • Small Project Grant ($0 - $1500)
  • Community Grant ($1500-$5000)

Applicants seeking up to $1000 are not required to contribute to the project financially, but are expected to provide in-kind contributions. Evidence of this is required in your application. For applicants seeking $1000 to $5000, at least 10 per cent of the overall financial cost of the project must be contributed by the applicant, or confirmed by an external funding source (excluding in-kind contributions).

 

Applicants are encouraged to contact the Community Services Department to provide a brief overview of their project. Please read the guidelines thoroughly prior to submitting your application, and make contact on (03) 6323 9200 should assistance be required.
