Community grant recipients announced across Murrumbidgee
Published on 10 May 2024
Murrumbidgee Council, together with Coleambally Solar Farm, is pleased to announce the recipients for the 2024 round of community funding.
Murrumbidgee Council Mayor Ruth McRae said with the support of Neoen Coleambally Solar Farm and the former Darlington Point Lions Club, we award funding across three different programs each year: Murrumbidgee Council Community Grants, Darlington Point Lions Club Grants and Coleambally Solar Farm Community Fund.
“Out of 24 excellent applications, 11 initiatives were selected to share in $42,000 worth of funding, all aimed at fostering community development and enhancing the quality of life for residents across the council area.
Neoen Australia Managing Director Louis de Sambucy said it was a pleasure to be able to provide these annual Coleambally Solar Farm community grants to support local projects that benefit and strengthen the Murrumbidgee Council area”.
Cr McRae said she was very pleased to see such a strong response from the community, with the selected projects encompassing a diverse range of initiatives that will positively impact the lives of Murrumbidgee residents.
“Congratulations to all recipients and thank you to everyone who submitted an application”, she said.
