WORKSHOPS TO EXPLAIN NEW COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM June09

Moreton Bay Regional Council will host a series of information sessions throughout June and July about its new community grants program.
Mayor Allan Sutherland said the sessions, to be held at various convenient locations throughout the region, would provide vital information to community and sporting groups about the grants program.

“Grants will be available for projects that respond to community issues and for programs that will develop and improve community facilities,” he said.
“There will also be grant money available for events that encourage local celebrations, tourism and showcase the region as well as individuals achieving at a national or international level in arts and culture, sport and recreation, the environment or academia.”
