Murray River Council Service and Charges Assistance

* indicates a required field.

Background and Purpose

The Community Financial Assistance Policy, sets out Council’s values and framework for considering the provision of funds based on each application's merit, circumstances, evidence of financial hardship, community benefit and the availability of funds in Council’s budget according to the relevant provisions of the Local Government Act.

Council is accountable to the community for the management and disbursement of its funds that must be undertaken in a manner that is seen to be fair and equitable. It also recognises that organisations and groups in receipt of Council funds have a responsibility to use those funds for the purposes for which they were given. 

All successful applicants will be required to acquit the funds by supplying receipts and if requested, an audited balance sheet indicating gross receipts and disbursements.  Applicants must have no outstanding debts to Council. Failure to provide satisfactory acquittal evidence will disqualify the organisation for any future allocation of funds.
