Community Assistance Fund
The purpose of the fund is to encourage and support community initiatives that respond to local needs, enhance community well-being and quality of life and are of benefit to our residents.
It is aimed at providing non-for-profit organisations, community and sporting groups based in the Council area with the opportunity to obtain funds for projects or events which cannot easily be obtained from other sources.
