“Last financial year Council supported 50 local projects with Community Grants totalling more than $310,000.
“This included funding for a program of activities to engage young people through to support for a wildlife bird carer.
“Council also supported community, sporting, service and charity organisations with funding to update constitutions and bylaws, facilitate volunteer training and upskilling, and assist with event planning.
“The Community Grants program can support a diverse range of initiatives and I encourage anyone with a project that can deliver benefits to the broader community to apply before applications close on 1 September 2024.”
