Deadline: 31-May-23
The Banyule City Council is inviting applications for the Banyule Facility Subsidy Grants that aim to encourage participation and community engagement, encourage healthy lifestyles and physical activity, support a diverse and inclusive community and improve community connectedness amongst the Banyule Community.
Council manages a wide range of community centres, halls and venues which are available for hire by the community. These facilities cater for a range of functions, meetings, special events and social gatherings.
Council recognises that the rental fees for these facilities can sometimes limit opportunities for groups to access them. The Facility Subsidy Grant program enables access by providing free or discounted hire to not for profit groups in the Banyule community.
