Council backs volunteers with funding to fulfil ambitions
SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council hosted a presentation ceremony to award 32 Community Grants at the council chamber in Leongatha last Wednesday.
The grants program supports community initiatives that enhance the quality of life, heritage, recreation and cultural opportunities for South Gippsland residents.
Over the past 11 years, council has donated $3 million to the Community Grants program. The grants range from $1000 to $10,000.
This year, $132,350 worth of grants were awarded to organisations for small emergency needs, major projects, minor projects and equipment, celebrations, festivals and events, planning and development studies and dairy tight times support events.
Community groups wishing to apply for the next Community Grants are welcome to through the council website by March 31, 2017.
