Community Grants
We recognise the contributions of community groups, clubs and organisations in making our City a thriving community where everyone belongs. At times, these groups seek financial support from Council to enable a better response to local needs.
We are excited to announce that a new and improved community grants program will be available from 1 January 2024.

Panel member positions are voluntary and open to all community members who would like to play a pivotal role in making our City a vibrant, safe and thriving community where everyone belongs.
Our Community Grants Program provides opportunities for not-for-profit community organisations to apply for project funding that benefit the Melton community.
