Shire Community Grants

The Council and Shire acknowledges the valuable and positive contribution made by community organisations and individuals in the provision of services and facilities to enhance the quality of life within the district for the benefit of the residents and visitors to the Shire.

To support these organisations and individuals, Council will allocate 0.5% of the gross yield of budgeted rates income, to fund recurring and annual community grants in order to assist with:

• programs, activities and initiatives delivered by community groups;
• support community development initiatives;
• increase the range of events, activities and services in the Shire;
• encourage the development of excellence and leadership in recreational, sporting, economic, tourism and cultural pursuits; and
• encourage the promotion of the Shire’s positive attributes.
