- Supporting and stimulating diverse and dynamic projects, programs, events and activities;
- Encouraging collaboration through engagement and participation in the community;
- Facilitating stronger, more sustainable and resilient communities;
- Supporting the maintenance and upgrade of community facilities.
- Encouraging projects and events benefiting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The purpose of the Shire’s Community Grants Program is to develop and actively support community organisations and individuals who positively contribute to community wellbeing and the cultural life of the region.
