Supporting Our Community, Together
The Shire of Wongan-Ballidu is proud to work in partnership with our vibrant local community. One of the key ways we do this is through our annual Community Development Fund (CDF) – a grant program designed to support local groups and organisations that make a difference.
Each year, Council provides funding to initiatives that:
-
✅ Align with the priorities and vision in the Strategic Community Plan
-
✅ Strengthen community life and encourage greater participation
-
✅ Deliver lasting benefits to the local community
-
✅ Contribute to our region’s social, cultural, environmental, and economic wellbeing
What Does the Fund Support?
The CDF helps bring community-led ideas to life, including:
-
Local events and festivals
-
Community group projects
-
Facility upgrades and improvements
-
Programs that increase access, participation and inclusion
Whether you’re hosting a cultural celebration, upgrading club facilities, or launching a new initiative, the CDF may be able to help.
