Stronger Communities Programme Round 8 - Expressions of Interest Now Open in Durack

Expressions of interest are now open for Round 8 of the Stronger Communities Programme (SCP). The new round of the SCP aims to support communities in preparing and recovering from the widespread impacts of adverse weather events and current economic pressures.

Federal Member for Durack, The Hon Melissa Price, said more funding for Durack would help deliver the infrastructure and equipment that contribute to the vibrancy and viability of local communities.

“I have seen some great results in Durack from this funding program and I look forward to seeing the successful outcome for more Durack communities with this round” Ms Price said. “I strongly encourage interested organisations who require more information to visit my website or contact my office regarding projects important to them and our communities.

Grants from $2,500 up to $20,000 are available to cover up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs, or up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs for local governing bodies. The Stronger Communities Programme aims to support local jobs, grow local economies and deliver lasting infrastructure and much-needed equipment.
