Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the grants help fund vital projects, creating a more enriched and sustainable community.
“The grants program assists a wide range of projects with the aim of strengthening the community’s collective environmental, economic, social, community and cultural experience.
“Our grants program enables individuals and groups that are often unable to fully fund their ideas or activities to gain the green light, greatly benefiting our community.
“The selection process is rigorous and comprehensive, selecting projects with strong merit, that fit the criteria of the category, meet our sustainability requirements and enhance outcomes for the community.”
