When filling in the application please ensure you:

• Answer all questions on the application form to avoid delays in processing.
• Include all requested attachments and identify any additional material.
• Provide the organization's bank account and financial stability proof through annual or audited accounts.
• Provide evidence of all costs, including details, that you're applying for. Example, quotations, product advertisements, reports, and budgets. Verbal quotes are not accepted.
• If applicants are GST registered, GST must not be included in the breakdown of project costs. If applicants are not GST registered, the Council will make the necessary adjustments to the funding application.
• Complete the checklist at the end of the form to make sure you have included all the necessary information.

Your application will then be assessed by a panel comprising of three members, one Council staff member, and two external community members.

The panel will submit a report to Council senior management with recommendations for successful applicants and award amounts.

All applicants will be advised in writing with the outcome of their application by the end of May 2025. 

Successful applicants will be required to complete:

• A grant agreement form.
• An accountability report, to be completed 12 months after the grant was received. This report must include a financial breakdown of all payments made.

Council will provide the applicant with further information and requirements for both forms directly.
