December 1st, 2022Grants program under review, community input called for

The Hepburn shire Council is conducting a review of its grants program in an effort to ensure its effectiveness and value to the community.
Mayor, Cr Brian Hood, said that Council awards a significant number of grants
throughout the year, including Community Grants, in addition to grants for Artisan
Agriculture, Biodiversity, Events and Climate change projects.
“We’re looking for feedback on what our community thinks of the process to access
grants and whether there are any improvements that will make the application process
easier,” Cr Hood said.
“We want to hear from people or groups who have applied for or received grants, and
even those that may not know much about our grants program.”
This community feedback will inform a review of our grants program so we can ensure
it’s both meeting expectations and managed efficiently.
Community members and groups are encouraged to visit
https://participate.hepburn.vic.gov.au/grants and complete a short survey. The survey
closes on Tuesday, 13 December 2022.
