Local groups are encouraged to brainstorm great ideas for projects ahead of the Shire of Harvey’s Community Grant Program reopening next month.
The Program is an annual helping hand for local groups and organisations that create projects which improve sustainability, inclusivity, resilience and connectedness in the Harvey Region.
Last year, the Shire supported 17 projects through the Program, including the 2024 Brunswick Show, Leschenault Men’s Shed rooftop solar panel installation and replacement of the cricket net synthetic surface at the Harvey-Benger Cricket Club.
Shire President Michelle Campbell said she was excited to see a new wave of project ideas in the 2025 Community Grants round.
“Last year, we supported a diverse range of ideas across multiple funding categories,” the Shire President said.
“This ranged from powering an upcoming movie set in Brunswick Junction to supporting much needed bathroom renovations at the Harvey Community Play and Learning Centre.
“I’m very excited to see what the community comes up with this year.
“Remember - we need all grant applications to align with the Strategic Community Plan.
“This is how we ensure the delivery of fantastic projects that fill a need in the Shire and match up with community expectations.
“For more information about how to submit a strong and competitive application, visit the Shire of Harvey website.”
The Shire of Harvey’s Community Grant Program includes eight categories: Community Support; Coastal Communities Fund; Placemaking; Infrastructure; Arts, Culture and Heritage; Community Events; Athlete Travel Subsidy; and the Alcoa Harvey Sustainability Fund.
The Program is supported by the Shire’s longstanding strategic community partner, Alcoa.
The 2025 Community Grant Program will open Monday, 24 February 2025. Applications will close on Friday, 4 April 2025.
