Wingecarribee Community Assistance Scheme 

The 2025/26 Community Assistance Scheme will open shortly.

The Community Assistance Scheme aims to build capacity, encourage participation and support initiatives that promote partnerships and working together to maintain our community and its assets.  

Council invested $105,000 in 2024 towards community development initiatives including arts and culture and sport and recreational projects. A further $10,000 from the Environment Levy has been invested towards future sustainability and natural environment projects. 

There are three types of funding available under the Community Assistance Scheme. These are:

The Wingecarribee Community Assistance Scheme follows Council’s adoption of its Grants, Donations and Sponsorships Policy on 16 November 2022. This policy provides a framework on how Council proposes to manage future grants, donations and sponsorships for the benefit of communities across our Shire.
