MARCH 2, 2016: COMMUNITY groups who are planning to apply for grants under Round 2 of the Liberal National Government’s Stronger Communities Programme are reminded to get their applications in by March 11. I am keen to ensure the money goes to worthy causes. There are grants of between $5000 and $20,000 to fund small capital projects which deliver social benefits, so please make sure your group is in with a chance for a share of the $150,000 available across my electorate.Nine applications under Round 1 have been successful, and I’m confident of gaining approval for a further five applicants.Applicants must provide matching cash, or in-kind, funding.Interested community groups should contact my office as soon as possible on 4944 0662, as initial expressions of interest should be received by March 11.To find out more about Stronger Communities go to http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/SCP
