“We encourage community members thinking about making an application to the Annual Grants program to start working on their submission now as there are only two weeks remaining before the closing date,” Ms Scully said.

“It takes a bit of time to put together a submission so don’t leave it to the last minute. Make the most of this opportunity and the time that is remaining.”

Last year Council supported 59 community and small business projects through its 2022/23 program.

The Annual Grants Program is part of Council’s commitment to developing a vibrant and diverse community in line with the goals of the Community Strategic Plan 2040

Those interested in applying to the Annual Grants Program are encouraged to get in touch with Council staff before submitting their application.

“It can be really helpful to have a chat with one of the grant category officers to discuss your ideas and plans, and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have about the application process,” Ms Scully said.

Applications for the Annual Grants Program 2023/24 close on Monday 1 May 2023 at 11.59pm.

2023 Youth Week

Youth Week is returning to Wagga Wagga from 20 – 30 April, offering a diverse program of inclusive and accessible activities for local young people aged 12 to 25 years.

Wagga Wagga City Council has partnered with various organisations to provide a program that will showcase the talent of local youth while providing a fun learning experience.

The program was developed in consultation with local young people during an extensive engagement project in 2022.

Over 350 young people between 12 to 25 years old were consulted, and their feedback indicated a desire for opportunities to learn about subjects not included in the school curriculum, and safe spaces for youth to gather and perform.

The Youth Week 2023 program offers a diverse range of free and low-cost activities giving local young people a chance to learn a new skill, meet new people or just chill out.

Check out the full program: wagga. nsw.gov.au/youth-week
