Deadline: 21-Mar-23

The Disability Access and Inclusion Grant support either of the following:
- Standalone activities which meet the grant objectives.
- A complementary grant which will provide additional support to make an activity more inclusive. This may be awarded in addition to any other City of Canning grant and should be applied for at the same time and on the same application form.
