COMMUNITIES across Australia are set to share in $22.5M to improve local infrastructure and provide essential community equipment, with applications now open for Round 4 of the Stronger Communities Programme (SCP).
Each electorate will receive $150,000 to allocate towards successful projects, with a maximum of 20 projects to be funded per electorate.
Federal Member for Murray, the Hon Damian Drum said the additional investment for a fourth round of SCP would ensure that local decision making continues to play a decisive role in funding community building projects.
“Our region has been very successful under previous rounds of the Stronger Communities Programme, seeing projects like the Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad new boat delivered,” Mr Drum said.
“Grants will be available between $2,500 and $20,000 for successful applications and I now invite organisations within the community to put forward their attractive, high-quality, projects for assessment.”
Project proposals can be submitted to the office of Damian Drum until Monday, August 27.
