Potential Funding avenues for Knapsack

Thought Id list potential funding avenues as we come across them, so we can highlight this to BMCC

http://www.communitybuildingpartnership.nsw.gov.... ($100K to $300K).
Aimed at Local Govt and Community groups to build or maintain facilities

"Community organisations and local councils are once again encouraged to apply for funding to build and improve community facilities in their local area. Grant funding of up to $300,000 is available for every electoral district with an additional $100,000 for the forty eight electorates previously identified with higher unemployment rates. The list of funding per electorate is shown at the end of the Guidance Note page."
Guessing by pretty sure BMCC is one of those 48 electorates mentioned.

"Applicants should demonstrate how their project will benefit their local community through the building or improvement of facilities to deliver positive social, recreational or environmental outcomes."

All of these benefits have been highlighted in past proposals.

The major barrier is the co-funding requirement.

We've highlighted this to BMCC

Didn't see this when you put it up. Seems funding its around.. just need to have a committment to the project to go ahead with actually getting funding. Catch-22.
