Community Development Grants aim to assist local non-profit community groups and organisations to establish and undertake innovative projects or activities that result in great outcomes for our community.

Individual grants are awarded up to $3000.

• Community participation and connection

• applicants must not have received a Community Development Grant in the previous year's grant round (groups may only receive grant funding once every two years (biennially))
