Regional Partnerships funding
The ACC
has a special role in helping project proponents to develop
applications for funding under the Regional Partnerships program.
Regional Partnerships funding is open to not-for-profit organisations
and private enterprise. Through Regional Partnerships the
Australian Government will partner projects that focus on;
strengthening
growth in regions by providing more opportuntites
for economic and social participation;
improving access to services
in a cost effective and sustainable way, particulary for those
communities in regional Australia with a population of less
than 5,000;
supporting planning that assists communities to identify
and explore opportunities and to develop strategies that result
in direct action action;
help communities make structural adjustment in regions
affected by major economic, social or environmental change.
Listed
below are the projects for which the ACC staff have helped
to source funding.
