Exciting Update to Our Community Grants Program

Published on Friday, 2 May 2025 at 9:41:00 AM

At last week's Ordinary Meeting of Council, we adopted key changes to the Annual Community Development Fund Grants Program to better support our local groups and initiatives.

Here’s what’s new:

  • No co-contribution required – grants can now cover 100% of eligible project costs
  • Grant limits introduced – up to $5,000 or $10,000, depending on the funding category selected
  • 12-month project completion timeframe from the date of approval (no longer tied to financial year-end)
  • Grant rounds will open at the beginning of each financial year in July for a period of 4 weeks.

These updates are designed to make it easier and more flexible for our community to access funding and bring great projects to life!

The next round of funding will open at the beginning of July, so stay tuned for the announcement.
