Community Assistance
Council supports community groups and community-led events in a variety of ways.
The Community Partnerships Program provisions for cash and in-kind assistance for eligible community events and activities, and rate rebate and remission assistance to eligible community groups. Interest free and low interest loans can be provided to groups to support major developments to community facilities through the Community Loans Policy.
Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund supports projects that build cultural capacity, cultural innovation and community wellbeing in the Shire. Individuals, groups and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding during RADF rounds.
Council Officers support not-for-profit community groups and service agencies by providing letters of support toward grant applications and by communicating external grant opportunities, information and resources.
