Another information session will be held online in the evening.
The sessions will allow for one on one discussions with officers and provide details on:
- Who can apply
- How to apply for the grants
- What kind of projects will be funded
- Assessment criteria
- The assessment process
- Tips and tricks for writing grant applications
The Team will also provide information on council's Community Directory and encourage attendees to add a listing.

The face to face sessions will run according to CovidSafe event requirements; attendees will be asked to QR check in, provide proof of full vaccination before entering the venue and wear masks.
"We recognise that many people in our shire prefer to have face to face interaction with council but Coronavirus restrictions have had a big impact on our capacity to do this recently," said Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Cr Tony Driscoll.
"We are hoping that community groups and residents who are interested in applying for either a Community Grant or an Arts and Culture Grant will join us at one of the sessions either in-person or online; applicants should find the session helps to clarify the grants process and improve the chance of their grant application being awarded."
