“Council is pleased to be able to actively support great initiatives that really do improve the quality of lives of our growing community,” Mayor Jane Smith said.
“Looking through the list of recipients in this latest round of funding, the sheer breadth of projects and the people and groups in our community they cater for is amazing.
“We increased our funding this year and asked groups to think outside the square and come up with innovative projects and they have delivered.
“This is a great opportunity to find out more about some of the wonderful programs our community are running, as well as playing a part in their success through the funding we provide.”
Other Council projects funded in this round include an Ecoline ‘Bush Tucker Trail’, Girrakool Blues Festival in Kariong, Glenworth Valley Horses Festival, Central Coast Academy of Sport’s Annual Program and NSW Business Chamber Speaker’s Forum.
Council consolidated its funding programs this year with key groups including the Gosford Race Club, Spencer Community Progress Association, Rotary Club of Wyong, Future
