Community Projects
Community Associations can provide support to local initiatives on project planning, budgeting and communications. If you have something you would like to lead, email our General Manager to get connected
Small Projects (<$600):
Do you have an idea for how to connect your neighbours? Improvements to a green space, a mural, organise a bike tune-up day, offer a free class, create a pop-up event? There are grants available up to $600 to help support resident led initiatives. Let us know if you apply and how we can support you getting the word out!
