The Section 356 Access Incentive Grant program is now open and closes 5pm on Friday, May 28, 2021. As part of the Community Resilience Fund – COVID-19 Recovery Package (Invigorate Gunnedah), Gunnedah Shire Council is pleased to open a special grant round, aimed specifically at supporting businesses and community groups to enhance access within their premises. A grant of up to $2,000 (GST exclusive) is available to each successful applicant. Projects examples include the installation of an access ramp to the business or shop front, redesign of marketing collateral (i.e. menus) to appeal to a broader demographic, changes to the fit out of premises to enhance manoeuvrability, access and safety for wheelchairs, people with temporary mobility challenges, etc. The Gunnedah Shire Missed Business Guide is a valuable resource to assist organisations and business to identify potential projects for funding. 

Application forms and guidelines can be accessed here. You can view the Missed Business Guide below. For more information on the 2020/21 round contact Council’s Community and Social Planner on (02) 6740 2100 or email council@infogunnedah.coma.au.
