It is strongly advisable to discuss your proposal with council officers prior to submitting a request for a Letter of Support. Where a project will require Council contribution, whether cash or in kind, your proposal may be required to be submitted as a Community Budget Submission or Community Grants Application. Council budgets are set up to 12 months in advance and while the process may seem lengthy it is required to ensure that a holistic, fair and equitable assessment of all projects and their alignment with Council's Strategic Plan and direction can occur.
