Twenty-nine community groups and not-for-profit organisations will share in more than $100,000 through the 2023-2024 Yorke Peninsula Council Community Grants scheme.

Council is committed to developing the region by providing funding opportunities through the annual grants.

The scheme provides financial grants for projects that provide a benefit to the wider community of the Yorke Peninsula Council region.

This year’s projects range from paving and realigning paths to purchasing and installing defibrillators.

“Council is excited by the range and calibre of project submitted for the 2023-24 Community Grants Scheme,” Mayor Darren Braund said.

“At the time closing, Council had 41 applications requesting total funding of $152,412.46 for projects to the value of $451,071.24.

“While Council could not approve all applications, we thank everyone who applied and encourage those who missed out to try again next year.”
