Four groups recommended for council grants
Four Peninsula groups will receive a total of $12,390 from an allocation of $36,947.50 in the latest round of Community Support Grants, if approved at the Council meeting tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 23.
The Umina Community Group is recommended to receive $1950 to part-fund its Community Smart Energy Talks.
Umina Surf Life Saving Club is recommended to receive $5000 for an upgrade to its training area.
Playgroup NSW is recommended to receive $440 as a room hire subsidy for the Woy Woy Peninsula Playgroup.
Ettalong Public School's Parents and Citizens Association is recommended to receive $5000 for a canteen freezer upgrade for "health, community, and sustainability".
Two applications from Mingaletta Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Corporation were recommended to be declined.
One application was for "Dulili-Together" and the other was for "Elders and Seniors connecting to culture".
They were "not recommended for funding due to insufficient information provided to make an accurate assessment" and because the applicant was ineligible under clause 7.25 of the grant program guidelines.
It deems ineligible "applicants with an overdue acquittal or who have failed to appropriately acquit a previous Council grant".
