Community Grants Program now open

Community groups, clubs, Traditional Owners and young people are encouraged to apply for funding to support their next project. This year’s community grants programs will see an injection of funds from Commonwealth and State governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements in response to the Black Summer Bushfires for revitalising our environments. The objectives of this additional funding stream are to: Enhance the natural environment by removing invasive species, such as weeds and willows; Replant flora species native to the Alpine region; Educate and inform people through environmental signage relevant to flora and fauna species native to the Alpine region; and, Create or enhance community garden spaces to educate and inform people about fire-resilient native flora. Mayor John Forsyth said in 2022/2023 Council awarded over $71,000 to community groups and clubs to support 21 important projects, with a total value of $220,000.
