Borough of Queenscliffe residents are encouraged to make their case to share in $20,000 of grants under an annual council program.
The council’s annual Community Grants Program is now open for submissions, with individual grants of up to $2000 available for projects and activities set to boost the wellbeing of residents.
Queenscliffe mayor Ross Ebbels said the program allows for community groups to deliver projects which would bolster the community’s wellbeing.
“From itemising costings to identifying community needs, the community grants program empowers organisations to be economically, environmentally and socially sustainable,” he said.
“Council’s reference group, who assess and recommend projects to council is looking forward to receiving applications with clear objectives and achievable outcomes that benefit the whole of the borough.”
Assessment guidelines also promote projects which support the council’s Climate Emergency Response Plan, protect the environment and address climate change issues.
The 2022/23 program is open to local not-for-profit organisations who are able to match the grant amount, either in cash or through in-kind labour and materials.
Applications close on Sunday, June 12, with successful applicants set to be notified in August 2022 ahead of a presentation ceremony.
