The Stronger Communities Programme (SCP) provides grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 to community organisations and local governments for infrastructure projects that deliver social benefits for local communities.
The input of the community is a key element of the SCP. Projects are selected by Members of Parliament (MPs) and their community consultation committees and are then submitted to the Government for assessment.
Federal Member for Casey, Aaron Violi MP said it was amazing to see so many local organisations applying for these grants to make our community even stronger.
“To receive such a high volume of applications really goes to show how strong our community is, with so many local organisations planning projects to benefit others and our region.
“I am proud to support grassroots organisations and can’t wait to see these projects come to fruition thanks to this funding round.
