“These grants will allow community groups to apply for funding to benefit the local community that will assist in providing positive social, recreational and environmental outcomes for our local area,” Mr Constance said.
“Since the program started in 2009 I have been fortunate to support in excess of $1.8million in projects that have built, upgraded, enhanced local infrastructure or provided community groups the tools necessary to remain active in their local community.
“The Community Building Partnership (CBP) grants allow local not-for-profit, incorporated community groups and local council to apply for funding that will provide better infrastructure and facilities to our communities," he said.
Projects funded by CBP grants in 2014 included:
- $5000 to the Eden Amateur Fishermens Club for roof extensions, concreting of the covered area and incorporating of a disability access ramp; and,
- $2000 to the Wyndham Men’s Shed for the purchase of tools and equipment.
Applications close Friday, August 7.
