Sixteen community groups, clubs, organisations and businesses from across the Roper Gulf region are set to share in more than $65,000 in Council grants.
A variety of sporting events, education programs and facility improvements are among the items which have been approved for funding by Council.
Mayor Tony Jack said that Council were very proud to endorse the Roper Gulf Region’s Community Grants Program and to support such a wide range of community groups, clubs, events and businesses after the challenges faced recently due to Covid-19.
“It is really heartening to see community groups looking to get involved in events across the region as we ease away from the difficulties faced last year during the pandemic.
“There is a number of sporting events taking place and it is great that schools and local organisations are getting involved and that Council can support them.
“We had a great response to the Community Grants Program this round with requests for funding coming from all over the region.
“Importantly, the Community Grants Program is also supporting a number of educational programs and initiatives that respond to local needs, enhance community wellbeing and are of benefit to residents,” said Mayor Jack.
The Community Grants Program creates significant partnerships between Council and the community and the Council wishes to thank everyone who made a submission.
