Council's Community Partnership Grants program has funded club building repairs, general equipment, furniture, safety gear, promotional signage, environmental protection programs, heritage projects, events, and festivals.
Council promotes funding opportunities twice a year and hosts drop-in sessions across the Shire so potential grant applicants have all the support they need to submit their application.
Please monitor our social media and local media outlets for information about upcoming grants.
We can also place you on a database for people wanting to be kept informed of what's happening with the Community Partnership Program.
