The 2018/19 round of grants open 1 April and close 31 May 2018. 

The Shire is committed to providing support to not for profit, community based, sporting, cultural, environmental, service groups and associations through the provision of Annual Grants and Rates Assistance Grants.

Annual Grants:

Annual Grants provide the opportunity for community groups to apply for funding for larger scale projects over $500.00.

Annual Grants may support (noting eligibility requirements):

  • Capital Works
  • Purchase of equipment; or
  • General project expenses.

Rates Assistance Grants:

Rates Assistance Grants provide the opportunity for community groups occupying rateable land to apply for assistance for the payment of their rates. A Rates Assistance Grant is only applicable to rates, and not to service charges, the waste management charge, and/or the Emergency Services Levy.

The Annual and Rates Assistance Grant Application Form can be located on the Shire web page www.swek.wa.gov.au/grants.aspx  or for more information contact the Community Services Team on 9168 4100 or mail@swek.wa.gov.au

Community Organisations and clubs will be invited to attend Information Sessions during April and May in both Wyndham and Kununurra. 

Early or late submissions will not be accepted.
