COMMUNITY SUPPORTED: The Mil Lel A&H Show Society was just one of the community groups to receive funding from round one of Grant District Council 2018/19 Community Grant Program.

ROUND one of the Grant District Council 2018/19 Community Grant Program is providing funding to 10 community groups in the district.

A total of $48,437 worth of projects have been co-funded between Council and 10 community groups across the townships and communities of Mil Lel, Kongorong, Yahl, Allendale and Caveton.

Funding was available in three categories of community (up to $2500), sport (up to $800) and hall (up to $1000) with the council receiving a total of 13 applications.

The program is run twice a year and designed to empower community and support projects that are of community benefit and meet the overall strategic objectives of council.

The council congratulated the successful recipients and is looking forward to working with them on the projects.
