I am very pleased to support applications for funding by organisations striving to enhance their communities. For groups to improve their chances of being successful I recommend that they seek funding from a number of sources and that projects are placed in order of priority.
It is important to remember that funding bodies receive many worthy applications from organisations in all electorates and for groups to be successful they need to show how their project will benefit the wider community.
I commend these organisations for their initiative in applying for funding and congratulate them on their success. Those groups who were not successful on this occasion may be considered in the next round of funding and I would wish them all the best in these endeavours.
Please do not hesitate to contact my office for assistance with funding applications.
