Redlands Coast community organisations wanting to build, renovate or refurbish community facilities can now apply for funding through Redland City Council’s Capital Infrastructure Grant program.Mayor Jos Mitchell said the program supported local organisations to undertake projects for the benefit of the community.“These grants allow community organisations to undertake vital projects to improve facilities that benefit both their members and the wider community,” the Mayor said.“They can also help improve the organisation’s ability to deliver services and improve access for people experiencing disadvantage or vulnerability.“The Capital Infrastructure Grant program also promotes collaboration and local partnerships, and provides new employment opportunities, which is a great boost for the local economy.”Last financial year, Council awarded more than $166,700 in capital infrastructure grants to 16 organisations to undertake projects such as replacement and installation of lights and fans, electrical works to a new shade shelter, drainage and grease trap upgrades, a cricket fence replacement, upgrades to a canteen and solar system, and renovation of an exhibition and display building.Applications for Capital Infrastructure Grants are available in two categories: Small grants up to $10,000; no financial cash contribution required.Major grants from $10,001 up to $50,000; 50 per cent financial cash contribution required.
