Ten local community groups will receive a funding boost for their projects, activities or events thanks to the City of Wanneroo’s latest Community Funding Program.
Applications for the program are open twice a year, in March and October, with the City providing funding support to hundreds of community groups over a number of years.
Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said it was a great way for community groups, organisations and clubs to receive financial assistance for their upcoming activities.
“This round the City is providing almost $33,000 to 10 community organisations and groups,” Mayor Roberts said.
