The Shire of Broome Quick Response Grants supports small community opportunities or projects that arise at short notice.

The program supports immediate need that arises where the activity is unable to be planned for or supported as part of the annual Community Development Fund (CDF).

It is recommended that applications be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to commencement of the project.

There are two streams of funding: 

• Community initiatives/Projects: Grants up to $1,000 are available to assist community based organisations within the Shire of Broome in the development of projects and initiatives that benefit the local community. 

• Venue Hire: Grants are available up to $1,000 towards the cost of venue hire for community groups and not-for-profit organisations seeking to host an event or activity at the following Shire of Broome facilities: Broome Civic Centre, Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre, Male Oval, Haynes Oval, Father McMahon and Joseph "Nipper" Roe fields. 
To determine availability of the venue and to secure a booking, applicants are required to contact the Broome Civic Centre Venue Supervisor or the BRAC Bookings and Administration Officer. A quote for venue hire must be obtained and submitted with the funding application.

Complete the application form(s) and submit it using one of the following options:

• Email your sponsorship application to the Shire: shire@broome.wa.gov.au
• Post your application to Chief Executive Officer, Shire of Broome, PO Box 44, Broome WA 6725

Applications may be prioritised should they meet the following conditions:
