Council has allocated $32,000 to local organisations in its 2022 Community Grants program, supporting community initiatives in Katherine.
There was $40,000 to spend but the Community Grants Assessment Committee advised that not all applicants met the criteria. Next year, Council will offer a information session to assist applicants with the grant guidelines and submission process.
“The leftover $8,000 will be allocated to something else that benefits the community,” Katherine Mayor Lis Clark said. “It was great to see all the applications we had, and we look forward to seeing the fruits of this money in community events and development over the next year.”
At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Tuesday September 27, elected members approved the distribution of grant funding to the following applicants:
