The Shire is committed to ensuring the assessment process is fair and equitable. Recurring annual funding is not guaranteed.
Applicants may apply for funding for several projects however each project may only receive funding once in each financial year.
Following the adoption of the Shire’s Annual Budget, all applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application.
Payment of funding will be made subject to Council approval.
Please contact the vendor to see if you can get a replacement receipt or please provide a bank statement to demonstrate proof of expenditure.
The Athlete Travel Subsidy grant and Community Support grant (up to $1,000) are available all year round until the allocated funding pool is exhausted. The other funding opportunities must be applied for by the specified closing date.
These are items in your budget which have value but are given freely or at a reduced rate as goods or services instead of money. e.g. Volunteer time or loans of equipment. The value can be estimated if you had to pay for these items. e.g. 3 hours setting up @ $25 per hour = $75.
Please submit a written request to the Grants Officer for changes to be made prior to project commencement, as this will require approval by the panel who assessed the initial application.
Changes that make your project substantially different from the proposal recommended by the assessment panel and approved by the Shire of Harvey may mean the offer of a grant is rescinded and your grant funds will required to be returned.
Your event isn’t eligible if it has already taken place prior to approval being received. Check the eligibility criteria of the grant to see whether you can apply for another activity.
