Formerly known as Community Development and Support Expenditure (CDSE). Applications for funding under the ClubGRANTS scheme for 2013 are now open and will be accepted up until 5pm on Wednesday 17 April 2013.

Under this scheme, Goulburn and district community organisations could apply for funding towards local community service needs and priorities from the ClubGRANTS scheme.

The ClubGRANTS Committee particularly looked at submissions that related to local projects/interest groups and purchase of equipment/capital up to a value of $2,500.

The ClubGRANTS scheme allows Registered Clubs with annual gaming revenue exceeding $1 million to apply 1.5% of gaming machine revenue to specific community development and support projects. The Goulburn Workers' Club and Goulburn and District Soldiers' Club both participate in the ClubGRANTS Scheme.

If you require any additional information or assistance, please contact Jacqueline Harmer or Jim Styles on (02) 4823 4480.
