The funding round will open on Monday 24 May, and organisations can apply online via the Duralie Community Fund application form before Friday 18 June 2021 at www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/grants.

Funds for successful projects will be available in July.

A community funding round was last offered in 2018, and the funds assisted with the completion of works at Stroud Showground in the interim.

Previous funding has provided many projects in Stroud and surrounding areas, including the now completed Stroud Showground upgrades, the provision of an accessible unisex toilet at Allen Park, upgrades to community facilities and purchases of equipment.

“The Duralie Community Fund offers a valuable opportunity to enrich community facilities and deliver projects that have lasting benefit for the Stroud area,” said Council’s Director of Liveable Communities, Paul De Szell.
