Community Water Grants Notice
The following notice was received from the Community Water Grants Team on 22/5/08:
"As a result of the 2008/2009 Budget
process it has been decided that the Community Water Grants program
will not continue. The 3rd funding round which was announced in October
2007 was the final funding round of the program.
This decision does not affect the
delivery of the many worthwhile Community Water Grants projects
currently underway which are helping the community take action to use
water more wisely. Over three funding rounds the Community Water Grants
program has provided grants to more than 8000 community and sporting
groups, schools, local councils and individuals. The Community Water
Grants team will continue to provide assistance to successful
applicants to complete their projects."
The Development Team can provide some guidance and support for
affiliated clubs planning to lodge a funding submission.

Development Manager Stephen Cardiff for more information on 9819
