Mayor Trent Sullivan:
The information sessions will provide practical tips and advice, and give attendees a chance to have their questions answered.Our community grants are such an important way for groups and individuals to access Council funds for their projects and activities.
Attending an information session is worth the time and effort to help you create the best possible application and maximise your chances of getting the funding you're looking for.
We've had great feedback in the past from people who have attended an information session and then gone on to secure a grant using the knowledge they gained.
