State Member for Wallsend, Ms Sonia Hornery MP, is encouraging not-for-profit groups and local councils to apply for funding through the 2017 Community Building Partnership program.
Community Building Partnership grants are available annually for community infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes. Through the program, the NSW Government ensures funding is available to support organisations that think first-and-foremost about the needs of locals.
The Community Building Partnership program has awarded funding to more than 10,000 valuable community projects since it commenced in 2009.
