Donations

Council’s Donations Program is open for applications from not-for-profit groups and organisations that have significant local membership or participation, and/or are undertaking a project that shows significant local benefit. The maximum donation per financial year under this program is $2000.

Council will invite applications for financial assistance throughout the year and staff will assess these applications against the eligibility requirements and assessment criteria of this program.

Staff then make recommendations for the consideration of the elected Council. These reports will go to Council on an as needed basis, depending on the quantity of applications received.

The exact dates which Council considers these applications will be listed in the table below once confirmed.
