Community groups will have access to $600,000 in Brimbank council grants in 2019-20.
The grants are provided by the council in a bid to help not-for-profit and community groups deliver projects and events across the municipality.
Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve encouraged all local groups to apply. This year the council is offering more support in the application process.
“If you’ve ever thought about applying for a Community Grant but been unsure about how to do it – this is your year to apply,” Cr Congreve said.
“We’re offering even more support to local community groups to give them the best possible chance of success – with seven information sessions, along with nine drop-in sessions where you can come along and ask questions or seek advice on your application.”
Information sessions will be held across Brimbank and will include a Vietnamese language information session.
Grants are available for festivals and events, sport and recreation, youth initiatives, community strengthening and a host of other initiatives.
Priority will be given to applicants who reflect the key pillars of the council’s community vision: people, place, prosperity.

Applications close on Sunday, July 14.
