Mayor, Cr Lesley Hewitt, said that eligible community groups can access funds in four rounds annually across five categories that support a range of community needs. “Community grants allow community groups to fund projects that they may not have been able to deliver without support. It is an important way that Council invests in and supports the community,” said Cr Hewitt.
Round 4 for the community grants program is open until 3 May 2021. Find more information at www.hepburn.vic.gov.au/community-grants-program.
