URGENT UPDATE: Wattle Range Council is calling on local community, sport, and recreation groups to apply for the crucial second round of its Community Financial Assistance Grants before the application deadline on January 5, 2026. This is an immediate opportunity for organizations that want to enhance their services and strengthen community ties.
Wattle Range Mayor Des Noll emphasized the importance of these grants in fostering a vibrant community. “These funds can make a significant impact, whether it’s purchasing a laptop for a community group or upgrading equipment for the upcoming sporting season,” he stated. The grants are designed to sustain grassroots organizations and support the countless volunteers who dedicate their time.
Each year, the council allocates around $55,000 to empower clubs and volunteer organizations throughout Wattle Range. Eligible groups can apply for grants of up to $2,000, provided on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis. The funding is divided into two key categories: the Community Financial Assistance Grants, aimed at enhancing community services and events, and the Sport & Recreation Financial Assistance Grants, which support local initiatives to develop sports facilities and programs.
“We invite all eligible organizations to apply and strengthen the future of the Wattle Range community,” Mayor Noll urged. This funding represents an essential resource for local groups striving to improve their offerings and engage more effectively with residents.
