Community Facilities Partnership Scheme Workshops
Manukau City Council is pleased to announce it is running a series of workshops throughout the city to help community
organisations when applying for funding through the Community Facilities Partnership Scheme.
Organisations wishing to extend clubrooms, construct a purpose-built community facility, or extend carparking and play
surfaces requirements can apply through the scheme which makes funding available in the form of grants to assist with
the development of multi-use community facilities. The proposed projects must be located on Council Reserve land.
Kim Squire, Council's Funding Co-ordinator says, "In the past there has been some confusion over certain aspects of the
process, so this year I have been running workshops to assist potential applicants about application procedures and
eligibility."
