It’s time to get into the festive spirit, with applications for Moira Shire Council’s Festive Funding now open! This initiative aims to support local communities in celebrating the festive season with a variety of events and activities that bring people together and spread holiday cheer.

The Festive Funding program offers financial support to community groups and organisations planning to host events or activities during the festive season. Grants can be used for a range of purposes, including public decorations, entertainment, and other event-related expenses.

Moira Shire Council’s Chair Administrator, Dr Graeme Emonson PSM, emphasised the importance of community celebrations.

“The festive season is a special time for our community to come together and celebrate. Council’s Festive Funding program is designed to support our local community groups with events and initiatives that foster community spirit during this joyous time of year,” said Chair Administrator Emonson.

Up to $1,000 will be available to community groups in small towns, and up to $2,000 for those in Yarrawonga, Cobram, Numurkah and Nathalia. Grants of up to $1,000 will also be available for organisations to celebrate their cultural significant day/s. There will be one successful application per town or per cultural group.
