Support for Applicants
Council will be running Applicant Information and Support Workshops to provide a one-on-one opportunity for each group to meet with a member of the MCGP team to ensure you have the best chance of funding.
|
It is not essential for applicants to attend these workshops, but it is essential to at least speak to a member of the grants team about a proposed application.

Sessions run for one hour per group and bookings are essential. Please book into one of these sessions online or by calling 9518 3555.
