New round of Thriving Communities program opens

A new round of the Thriving Communities Program has opened, offering regional community groups the opportunity to apply for grants ranging from $20,000 up to $50,000 for projects which deliver new infrastructure and services to improve quality of life in SA's regions.  

Projects must be completed within 12 months, with applications opening on 12 September and scheduled to close on 24 October. 

Upgraded visitor facilities at the historic Glencoe Woolshed, restoration works at Minlaton's Heritage Show Pavilion, an extension at the Jamestown Shearer Training Centre, new machinery at the Millicent Men's Shed metal workshop and a new playground and shaded area at the Lochiel Community Centre were among last year's successful projects. 

Eligible entities include incorporated associations such as community and industry groups, or registered charities.

Local government authorities may auspice an application on behalf of a community or industry group.
