Community Investment
Council offers six separate funding streams for groups and organisations seeking funding assistance in the form of donations, sponsorship and/or grants. For more information on how your event or group can benefit from funding view the Community Investment Program Fundseeker Toolkit.
Mayor's Discretionary Fund
The Mayor's Discretionary Fund provides an additional community support category for organisations seeking funding that may not meet Council's general community investment criteria. Applications are assessed on their community value and processed by the Mayor's Office.
In 2019/20, Council has allocated $100,000 for the Mayor's Discretionary Fund.
Applications for the Mayor’s Discretionary fund are not currently being accepted. This is due to legislative requirements which prohibits decisions to allocate funding until the conclusion of the Local Government election.
Enquiries regarding this fund can be directed to Council on (07) 4970 0700.
