Put your hand up for Australia Day celebrations

Wednesday, November 6, 2019

Gunnedah Shire is known for its Australia Day enthusiasm – and Gunnedah Shire Council grants for our villages can help add to the excitement.

Progress associations, hall committees and community groups within Gunnedah Shire’s villages have been invited to apply for grants to host community celebrations on Australia Day, January 26, 2020.

Gunnedah Shire Council Director Corporate and Community Services Colin Formann said the Australia Day Working Group – through Gunnedah Shire Council – was making up to $500 for each village available for appropriate events.

“Each of our shire villages has its own unique community and atmosphere, and it’s wonderful that these grants can assist in sharing the celebrations around Gunnedah Shire,” Mr Formann said.

“Traditionally, our Shire has really embraced the Aussie spirit. We’d love to see that continue with events in Breeza, Carroll, Curlewis, Emerald Hill, Kelvin, Mullaley and Tambar Springs.”

Applications can be made through a survey link on http://www.gunnedah.nsw.gov.au/ before Tuesday, December 10.
