The guidelines set out a clear and fair approach to funding, helping ensure projects align with council priorities and deliver benefits for the wider community.
Key themes include transparency, community participation, supporting local creativity and investing in arts and cultural opportunities across Moira Shire.
The new program includes two funding streams ― the first being three-year funding for established organisations delivering ongoing creative arts programs.
The second funding stream is the annual Grant Funding stream, for projects, events and activities.
Moira Shire Council chair administrator Graeme Emonson said the guidelines would help bring more arts and cultural experiences to communities across the shire, while creating new opportunities for local creatives and community groups.
“Arts and culture play an important role in bringing people together, celebrating local stories and creating vibrant places to live,” Dr Emonson said.
“Through these two funding streams, we can support both established organisations delivering ongoing programs and community groups with fresh ideas for projects, events or activities.”
