About this grant

Council values the knowledge, skills and motivation people have to take action on ideas that contribute to a thriving Surf Coast Shire community and environment.

The Minor Capital Works Grants contribute funds towards community-led projects that encourage not-for-profit organisations and groups to undertake works to improve community infrastructure.

This includes projects that support:

• Building improvements or renovations
• Renewal of fitted or fixed equipment for community use.

For example, kitchen renovation, air conditioners, accessibility improvements.

A capital works project is an item that is built in or needs to be fixed to a wall or the ground.

Council Plan 2021-2025 provides some information and food for thought on these topics (and others).

Applications are assessed against the grant criteria outlined in the Guidelines (PDF, 226KB) by a panel of Council Officers.

The highest scoring projects will be fully funded and projects that are assessed with a moderate score may be considered for partial funding.

It is a requirement that all successful grant applications align with the Surf Coast Shire Council Health and Wellbeing Plan.

Projects must be inclusive of people with disability, as per the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.
