February Update
Dear residents,
Supporting community initiatives are at the heart of what we do to keep the Town a flourishing place for our residents and visitors. From sport to environmental grants, there's a wide range of programs on offer.
Supporting women's footy
As a proud sponsor of our local women's football team the Claremont Tigers, we're pleased to be supporting them as they chase back-to-back championships. We're also returning as a Community Partner for the Claremont Football Club's Youth Girls Development Squad. We look forward to the start of the season and to cheer on these talented athletes.
Tennis Club lights
The Town, along with the State Government and Claremont Lawn Tennis Club, have jointly funded the costs to upgrade the tennis club's floodlights. The Town was proud to be a supporter of this new community infrastructure which increases the opportunity for socialisation and player development.
Youth Funding Initiative
We're committed to enhancing and building the capacity of young people and our Youth Funding Initiative supports the development of life skills, leadership and participation in activities that celebrate young people's achievements. Individuals aged between 12-18 can apply for financial assistance when representing at a state or national level. Read more about the initiative here.
Catio Grant Program
Our Catio Grant Program supports the building of enclosed areas in backyards, allowing cats to spend time outside without the risk of harming native wildlife. Residents can receive up to $500 to install a catio. Visit the website here to apply for a catio grant.
