“So far, we’ve been excited to award funding to heaps of different projects, including the Tilligerry Festival in November last year and an upcoming pathway project in Seaham,” Mayor Palmer said.

“We really want to fund as many grassroots local projects that genuinely support local people across the whole LGA to bring life and vibrancy to our streets and neighbourhoods,” he added.

Mayor Palmer said there’s a great cross-section of funding streams available for anyone to apply from individuals, artists, creatives, community groups, not-for profits, businesses and students.

“It’s really easy to apply, with our guidelines clearly explaining each funding program and what type of projects can be funded.

“Our team is also available to give you tips on how to make sure your application is successful,” he said.

“We can’t wait to see some exciting new initiatives that will boost the social, cultural, environmental and economic life of our communities,” Mayor Palmer added.

The Vibrant Spaces Fund and Community Support fund close on 2 April 2023, with the other funding streams open year round.
