A new round of applications is open of the Morrison Government’s Stronger Communities Programme, (SCP) Round 6.
Federal Member for Durack, the Hon Melissa Price said this round would fund up to 20 projects in Durack with grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 available to cover up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs, except for local governing bodies where grant funding will be up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs.
“This SCP round in Durack is themed ‘Supporting the health and safety of Durack community groups’, so I would encourage all local organisations to consider how a grant of up to $20 000 could assist your community within that criteria,” she said.
“Some examples of that health and safety criteria might include things like the purchase of EPIRB’s SAT Phones, security screens at community shelters, or perhaps the development of technology media platforms to improve safety awareness,” Ms Price said.
The successful community investments I have seen in Durack from this program’s previous rounds, like the upgrade to the Derby Speedway Club kitchen facilities which I was able to visit last year, have had a significant impact in local communities encouraging greater participation by improving local amenities and providing lasting upgrades of equipment .
The first stage of the SCP application is by an Expression of Interest Form which you can find here, http://melissapricemp.com.au/s/SCP-EOI.pdf and must be submitted by Friday 19 February 2021.
Successful project applicants will then be invited through the EOI process to apply for a grant assessed against the program’s eligibility criteria.
Further information on grant guidelines, eligibility requirements and the application process can be found at www.business.gov.au/grants-and-programs/stronger-communities-programme.
