CFFP Minors Application Process
Step One: Community organisations submit the Application Form for Community Organisations (Word 31kb) to their councils. It is vital that community organisations contact their local council to find out the closing date for applications to council.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss project ideas with council before completing the Application Form for Community Organisations. Advice should include investigating the:
• Suitability of the proposed project scope and works
• Relationship to council’s forward planning and future priorities
• Total budget and the availability and sources of any matching funding contributions
• Process for submitting an Application Form for Community Organisations
• When a project idea is developed, complete an Application Form for Community Organisations and submit to council for consideration
• Application Forms for Community Organisations should be sent directly to council and NOT to the Department of Planning and Community Development.
Step Two: Councils review applications from community organisations, and following council endorsement develop up to three (3) applications for submission to the Department of Planning and Community Development for consideration by 17 September 2009.
• Council reviews all applications from community organisations in their municipality
• Council assesses these project proposals and endorses the projects that best meet the assessment criteria
• Council then write a full application to ensure the project is in a strong position to be considered for funding
• Council submits completed applications to the Department for Planning and Community Development.
