Three community projects across the Limestone Coast are set to benefit from the State Government’s Thriving Communities Program.
The program, launched in January this year as part of the Thriving Regions fund, is about supporting infrastructure, services, and wellbeing outcomes.
It is aimed at facilitating small projects that build social resilience through facilitating greater community participation, and ease of access through initiatives such as new or improved infrastructure, plant and equipment, access to services and programs, or events with wellbeing outcomes
The initial successful projects under the Thriving Communities Program include $36,000 for the Glencoe Woolshed Branch, National Trust towards construction of upgraded toilets including disabled toilet facilities.
The Naracoorte District Men’s Shed will receive $21,000 for stage two of its new engine shed and the Millicent Golf Club has been allocated $28,802 for wheelchair and disabled access works.
Eligible local community associations and registered charities are still able to apply for grants ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 under the Thriving Communities Program until 30 June 30, unless the full funding amount has been allocated beforehand.
