Each application was assessed by the Committee against the criteria outlined in the Community Growth Fund’s policy prior to its recommendations to Council and scored against the detailed objectives provided, provision of a detailed budget, and demonstrating a significant benefit to the community of Carnarvon.
The Community Growth Fund has been designed to demonstrate the Council's commitment to supporting communities in the region by providing financial and in-kind support to activities that build capacity, encourage participation, and make positive and ongoing contributions that align with the Shire's Strategic Community Plan.
The next funding round for the Community Growth Fund is open from 1 July to 12 August 2023. For more information on the program or to apply visit: www.carnarvon.wa.gov.au/community/events/grants-funding/community-growth-fund.aspx
