Support
Community and sporting groups from the Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong council areas will share in close to $500,000 in the first round of funding from the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund Grants Program.
The grants, an initiative of the West Gate Tunnel Project, will enable not-for-profit organisations to embark on projects that will connect, celebrate and transform communities in the inner-west.
The $10 million fund is an initiative of the Victorian Government to make sure neighbourhoods in the inner west benefit from the West Gate Tunnel Project now.
Community
Under the Grants stream funding up to $100,000 has been allocated to 28 projects that will connect locals through art and culture, sustainability, open spaces, sport and recreation, health and wellbeing, community and multicultural services, and education.
Congratulations to the successful applicants from this round. Some of the recipients include:
The grants follow on from the announcement in March 2021 of the first round of West Gate Neighbourhood Fund Partnerships for projects over $100,000, with 19 projects funded.
