Grant round is launched

This year's round of Gosford Council's Community and Cultural grants were opened on Tuesday, March 9, with a launch at the Peninsula Community Theatre.

Representatives from over 60 local organisations attended the Peninsula Community Theatre where Cr Chris Holstein launched the grant round.

This year the Council will use the themes of its Draft Cultural Plan to guide cultural grant applications.

Council's Community Services Director Mr Phil Rowland described the principal themes of the Cultural Plan, which can be found on the Council's website, together with the Community Plan.

Council will be looking to support grant applications which target the themes identified in these plans.

To assist people and organisations that are interested in accessing the grant funding, there will be two information sessions held at Erina Community Centre on March 22 from 7 to 8pm and March 23 from 11am to noon.

Grant information packs may be obtained from the council's community development section or by downloading the information and forms from Council's web site.

Applications close on Friday, April 30.

The application period is from March 9 to April 30
