Guide the Future of Community Grants & Contributions

The City of Karratha is reviewing its grants, contributions, and fee waiver programs to ensure they deliver real benefits to our community. Each year, the City of Karratha provides support to local organisations, community groups, businesses, and event organisers.

Your feedback is essential. By sharing your experiences, challenges, and ideas, you will help shape the future of how the City of Karratha invests in our community.

Background

The review will:

  • Assess how well the City of Karratha’s grants, contributions and fee waivers are supporting our community.
  • Understand the social, cultural and economic benefits of projects that have received funding in the past three years.
  • Find better ways to show the value and impact of community funding.
  • Listen to any challenges people face when applying, and explore how we can make the process easier.
  • Make sure funding priorities reflect the needs of our community and align with the City of Karratha’s long-term goals.

This process ensures that community voices directly influence future funding policies.
