Extra year for community groups to work on projects

9 August 2017

Through the Stronger Country Communities Fund, the NSW Government has announced plans to fund projects worth $1.9 million, over the next two years.

Orange City Council is currently consulting with the community to assemble and then lodge a single application on behalf of the community (by October 18).

After the first round of applications are considered, the government will announce funding for $950,000 worth of projects.

It's expected that next year there will be another application process for a further $950,00 worth of funding.

This means if a community group is yet to develop detailed plans for their project, in order to produce two quotes, they still have another twelve months to do that work.

Orange City Council is suggesting that community groups should initially raise their possible project by using the 'Future Projects' on this site.
