Grants and Funding

Council is committed to supporting local businesses, community groups, and organisations to grow, thrive, and deliver valuable services in our community.

A wide range of State and Federal Government grants are available to help with projects, events, equipment, business development, recovery, and more.

To make it easier, we’ve gathered direct links to the key grant search tools and funding portals. These sites provide information on current grant opportunities, eligibility, and application processes.
