The grants will generally ong>beong> less than $5,000, with funding ong>toong> ong>beong> only given ong>toong> those projects that have direct ong>beong>nefit within the Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area. The model for this grant funding will draw from similar successful schemes, such as the Blue Mountains Urban Runong>ofong>f Control Programme. The terms ong>ofong> the grants will ong>beong> developed in partnership with the community through consultation (refer ong>toong> Attachment 1). Table 7 shows the projected community grants projects funding from 2005/06 – 2011/12 including the costs ong>ofong> administration and promotion. Projects likely ong>toong> receive funding might include street planting ong>toong> protect wildlife and local bushfire regeneration. These grants would also help community groups draw additional grant funds, such as Natural Heritage Trust Grants, so further increasing the value ong>ofong> this programme.
