In 2018 the City of Bayswater introduced a Community Grants Program, and in 2021 conducted a review of this program.
This involved establishing an internal Community Grants Program working group and gathering information from internal stakeholders. In addition the City also gathered feedback from previous grant applicants to evaluate program outcomes from July 2018 – June 2021. We sought feedback from previous Community Grants Program applicants between 2018 - 2021.
Consultation
The City undertook both internal and external consultation to inform the Community Grants Program Review from March until August 2021.
190 local sporting and community groups, businesses and individuals were invited to take part in a survey to help determine how well the Community Grants Program has met its objectives. Applicants were asked how easy or difficult it was to apply for funding, and what would make it easier or better to apply. A total of 27 community members provided valuable feedback to the City to help inform the Program review.
What is Happening Now?
Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 24 August 2021, endorsed the actions relating to the City’s Community’s Grants Program to be undertaken by 30 June 2022, as detailed in the minutes, which are available here.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the surveys - your feedback was much appreciated and has been very valuable in undertaking the Community Grants Review.
