“This funding can make a real difference and I encourage local community organisations to apply,” Mr Provest said.
“The 2019/20 program and has been expanded to support projects that build community connections and the application process has been streamlined to make it easier and quicker.
“For the first time, the grants are available for projects that support youth, mental health, homelessness and domestic violence services as well as drought-affected communities.”
