Objectives of the CGP

The CGP objectives are to support projects that promote community capacity, improve social participation and inclusion as well as enhance community harmony and social cohesion.

The Shire of Koorda CGP assists community groups and Not for Profit organisations with their vital work and programmes to:

  • Promote community capacity, community harmony and social cohesion;
  • Encourage people and organisations to help themselves;
  • Ensure fair distribution of activities and services throughout Koorda; and
  • Encourage resident participation in activities which benefit the community in Koorda.

Please note: all funds are paid to successful applicants as a reimbursement i.e. after the event/purchase. Grant recipients are required to pay all relevant costs up front.  Following completion of project, successful recipients are required to invoice the Shire of Koorda for payment, ensuring all receipts from project costs/items along with the final acquittal documents are attached.
