The Council’s Discretionary Fund provides Council with the ability to approve small discretionary grants to community members and groups in response to requests that are received from time to time.
The program recognises small activities and events that deserve support from Council. These programs may arise on an ad-hoc basis, which makes them ineligible for other funding programs, or they do not coincide with the timing of the annual Community Grants Program.
