A NUMBER of organisations in the western section of the Murray River Council (MRC) area have been awarded community grants.
MRC awarded $30,699 in community grants to help support a wide range of community projects.
Community groups and not-for-profit organisations were able to apply for up to $3000 for projects or events under the twice-annual grant round.
Mayor Chris Bilkey said there was a great response to the grant program.
“There were many worthy projects submitted for consideration, highlight the amazing things that continue to go on in our towns, despite another challenging year,” he said.
“The funded projects are spread throughout the council area, represent the diverse needs of our residents and will greatly promote the well-being of Murray River Council communities.”
Successful applicants included Murray Haven Homes in Barham for its teaching gold dog new tech project, Moulamein Men’s Shed and Rice Museum, Moulamein South Recreation Reserve Committee, Kyalite Progress and Recreation Reserve Association and the Wakool Soldier Settlers Memorial Walk Action Group.
