Local community groups across Pittwater are being encouraged to apply for funding under the Community Building Partnership Program, with expressions of interest now open.
Member for Pittwater, Jacqui Scruby, said: “This is one of the most important funding rounds of the year for our local organisations, providing an opportunity to deliver practical, on-the-ground improvements for the community.”
Grants typically range from $10,000 to $100,000, with funding available across three categories:
-
Capital Works: Refurbishment, new infrastructure, general construction and fixed installations
-
Equipment: Freestanding equipment that does not require fixed installation, and vehicles that do not require registration
- Vehicles: Purchase or modification of on- and off-road vehicles requiring registration
Last year funding was awarded for initiatives including a new dragon boat for Bei Loon Dragon Boat Club, a new score board for Narrabeen Junior Rugby Union, two new engines for Marine Rescue Broken Bayview, shade structures for local schools, the refurbishment of the community hall at Narraben Sports High and the Nura Djaroba nature playground at Avalon Public School.
“From upgrading community halls and sporting facilities to purchasing essential equipment, these grants help turn local ideas into real outcomes.”
“Pittwater is home to incredible volunteer-led organisations and these grants turn local ideas into reality, to be enjoyed by so many in the community, said Ms Scruby.
“I strongly encourage all eligible groups to apply and watch a recent grants workshop held for information on how to develop grant applications”.
