Grants

Council is always interested in hearing from local community groups and organisations who would like to partner with Council and discuss any ideas or visions they have for the region. Council may provide assistance with sourcing external grant funding including with assisting with your preparation of a grant application where applicable. We endeavour to provide community groups with advice on grant programs that meet their needs as they become available.

Upper Lachlan Shire Council advises that applications for Funding via the Biala Wind Farm Community Fund are now open and will close at 5.00pm on Friday 6 October 2023.
