What is the Community Grants Scheme?

The Bizarre Community Grants Scheme provides funding to support projects and activities that enhance the social, cultural, and environmental well-being of people within the Coromandel-Colville Ward. This grant aims to empower local initiatives that make a meaningful difference in our community.

There is one funding round per year, offering applicants the opportunity to apply for financial assistance to bring their projects to life. If you have a community-focused initiative that aligns with our vision, we encourage you to apply and contribute to the positive growth of our region.
