The Contestable Grants Fund is a new fund introduced by the Council to assist in the vision of becoming a thriving, connected and resilient Grey District. Applications are called for each year in July/ August.
FUNDING ROUND CURRENTLY CLOSED
Applicants who have applied to the 2020 funding round will be advised if their application was successful in early November 2020.
There has been $20,000 allocated from Council for this fund.
The grant applications will need to align with Council’s vision and outcomes, which have been updated following community engagement undertaken between February and June this year.
Council asked the community what was wanted and needed to be Our Ideal Grey District. We received over 500 comments, ideas and advice from meetings, pop-ups, school visits, adverts and discussions.
We also looked at the 2019 Resident Satisfaction Survey information and have put this all together for these big, bold, and truly authentic Grey District Vision and Outcomes.
