Community funding partnership

Mayor of Latrobe City Council, Councillor Darren Howe, shared that this program is extremely rewarding for both council and the community to be involved in. "Over the years the council has made a significant contribution to local projects through the community grants program. Organisations and community groups are allocated funding that is invested in improving local facilities, operations, and events."

"The program establishes a valuable partnership between council and the community through providing funding that brings projects that build a greater region to life. I encourage you to look at the community grants available as part of the program and attend an information session to find out more," said the Mayor.
