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.
Grant funding of up to a maximum of $4,000 is available for financial and/or in-kind assistance per application, per organisation, per year. Funding is offered 4 times a year. Applicants may submit one application per funding round.
