The Shire of Dardanup has opened Round 2 for the 2023/24 Community and Event Grants, which provide an opportunity for not-for-profit community groups and sporting clubs to secure financial support for their projects.

Shire President Cr Tyrrell Gardiner emphasised the significance of these grants in empowering local initiatives.

"Our Community and Event Grants are a direct investment in the heart of our community. They have supported a diverse range of projects, from upgrading essential equipment to hosting impactful community events,” Cr Gardiner said.

“We invite more groups to step forward and make a positive impact in our wonderful Shire."

Cr Gardiner said previous grant recipients have utilised funding for various projects, including upgrading first aid kits, purchasing shelving and storage equipment, contributing to the improvement of water fountains, supporting signage displays at heritage forum events, and enhancing playground and sporting equipment.

“These grants, available at three levels of support, aim to foster the distinctiveness of community spaces, activate public areas, build community skills and capacity, leave a lasting positive impact, promote accessibility and inclusivity, and empower groups to be proactive in the community.”

Cr Gardiner encouraged local champions to seize this opportunity.

"A wide range of local community champions have already received a financial boost through the grants scheme, and your club could be next! Whether it's a small-scale project or a community-wide initiative, we are here to support you,” he said.

“Don't miss out on this chance to bring your community project to life with the support of the Shire of Dardanup Community and Event Grants.”

Applications for the Community and Event Grants close on Monday, 12 February. Interested groups and clubs can access more details and find the application form on the Shire’s Grants page at https://www.dardanup.wa.gov.au/our-community/grants
