Veterans Capital Works Grants now open

Ex-service organisations, local government and not-for-profit groups who support veterans and their families can now apply for funding through the Veterans Capital Works Grants Program to improve their buildings and facilities.

The Nationals Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy is encouraging eligible groups and organisations to consider submitting an application, with grants of up to $200,000 available.

Funding can be used for renovation projects that provide all abilities access, improved community access or upgraded memorial halls.

Interested organisations can apply for up to $50,000 through the Veterans Minor Capital Works Grant Program or up to $200,000 through the Veterans Major Capital Works Grant Program.

Previously successful grant applications have included $30,000 for the Balmoral RSL Hall facility upgrade.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for groups in Lowan to receive financial support to help support our local veterans and their families,” Ms Kealy said.

“I encourage all eligible groups across the Lowan electorate to consider lodging an application.”

Grant applications are now open and will close on Thursday, 4 July 2019.
