LCC Community Grants

Latrobe City Council has a proud history of working in partnership with the community to meet local needs. One of the ways Latrobe City Council supports community groups is through the Community Grants program, which delivers funding for projects that:

• Reflect our community’s priorities and vision as set out in the Council Plan and Living Well Latrobe – Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan;
• Strengthen communities and provide opportunities for enhanced participation in public life and community groups;
• Provide benefits to the local community;
• Improve accessibility or inclusion for priority groups as per the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing plan;
• Provide health, wellbeing and safety to the community; and Contribute to the social, cultural, environmental and economic development of our community

The Community Grants program represents a significant contribution by Latrobe City Council to local projects. Grant funding is a way of acknowledging the contribution that individuals and groups make to the Latrobe City community life.

Community grant funding supports projects, events, and improvements to facilities that address the recreational, social, and cultural needs of the Latrobe City community, enhancing municipal development.

Limited funds are available through a competitive process, with applications determined according to funding criteria and merit. Applicants must apply through the correct stream and follow the Community Grant Program Guidelines. Submission of an application is not a guarantee of success.
