Land Information Memorandum

Watch this space! – Grants and Funding
A centralised community development grant will create a fund to support the community’s recovery from COVID-19.

Council voted to create the new grant at its meeting on 6 May by combining all contestable grants funds into one community development fund. The new fund will have approximately $143,000 to disburse and will be a one-off response for the 2020/2021 financial year, with community grants schemes returning to normal in 2021/2022.
