Golden Bay Community Board Discretionary fund

The aim of the fund is to provide low level funding to towards projects, events, and initiatives in the Golden Bay Community Board area that the Board considers to be of a high priority for the Golden Bay Ward but are not high enough in relation to district-wide priorities to gain direct Council funding.

• There is a $500 maximum for applications for non-Golden Bay Community Board initiated projects.
• Applications should be made three weeks before the Golden Bay Community Board meeting or applications will be considered at the next Board meeting.
• Applicants may be given less funding than they apply for.
• Projects must be completed within six months of receiving funding.
• Successful applicants report back to the Golden Bay Community Board on the project and how the funding was used within six months of receiving funding. Community Board support staff follow up with each organisation who has been provided funding.
• Exceptional and unique circumstances will be considered.
• An accountability form will need to be returned.
