Council approves $75,000 in grants

Community grants worth nearly $75,000 were approved by the Bunbury City Council last week.

The grants were given to 15 community groups and organisations under the council’s community funding policy.

Included in the recipients were the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre, Meals on Wheels, Seniors’ Computer Club, Community Home Care, Helpful Hampers and Investing in our Youth.

The council received 25 applications for $184,000 worth of funding.

Acting Mayor Brendan Kelly said the applicants needed to fulfil criteria to qualify for funding.

A panel of councillors and city staff decided which organisations qualified for the grants.
