Four organisations are to share in $12,683.85 of funding through the latest round of Central Coast Council’s Community Support Grant program.

Tuggerah Lakes Art Society will receive $2,655.55 for its Our Natural World Expo and Auspicious Arts Projects gets $2,841.30 for its CLIPPED Music Video and Karaoke projects.

Crommelin Native Arboretum at Pearl Beach will use its $5,000 to fund the Ephemeral Art Trail and the 5 Lands Walk will receive $2,187 to pay for its banners.

Three of the seven applications in this round were not recommended for funding because they did not demonstrate a broader community benefit.

They were Terrigal Outrigger Canoe Club, Toukley District Cycle Club and Music NSW.

The Community Support Grant Program remains open throughout the year to provide assistance for community activities that require in-kind support through the provision of subsidised access to Council services and financial assistance for community activities that require a smaller amount of support.

Council’s grant programs are provided to support the community to deliver quality programs, projects or events that build connections, celebrate the local community, align with the One-Central Coast Community Strategic Plan and build capacity across the entire region.

The Community Support Grant Program provides a combined budget of $300,000 annually.
