Through a new email address, groups will be kept informed of up to date opportunities to apply for government funding to assist groups with projects and other aims.
LPSC mayor Andrew Hope said applying for funding can often be a daunting task for many community groups.
“LPSC receives information from many government and non-government bodies regarding grant funding that is on offer,” Cr Hope said.
“Assist local community groups/organisations interested in receiving information on available grants council is providing a new email address, grants@lpsc.nsw.gov.au, and if they register their details at this address we’ll send out regular updates on what we know is available.”

Cr Hope said the email service would be available for any interested group and would help them stay up to date with the latest government funding programs but encouraged potential applicants to be prepared when applying for grant funding.
“This service will be available to community groups, sporting organisations, cultural groups, organisations supporting families, youth, seniors, those with disabilities, service clubs, P&Cs and local environmental projects and many others,” he said.
“Many organisations look just for the dollars, and then are surprised at the requirements and obligations that are attached to the grant.
“Therefore, before applying for a grant, an organisation should undertake an assessment of the likely impact of the grant on the organisation.”
“Council encourages community groups/organisations to avail themselves of this service. The main thing is, be prepared.”
