Why the External Competitive Grants Program matters to you

Community benefits

More grant revenue funding means improved parks and roads, as well as upgraded community facilities, and expanded programs and services.

Increased revenue helps Council deliver projects better and more cost-effectively to ratepayers.

Financial responsibility

Increased grant revenue reduces pressure on local budgets and ratepayers and demonstrates Council’s commitment to innovation and resourcefulness.

How we do it

Behind the scenes, Council’s dedicated Advocacy, Grants and Partnerships team identifies opportunities and prepares strong grant applications.

Partnerships with stakeholders strengthen our bids and ensure projects meet real community needs.
