Grant Description
The Discretionary Ward Allowance (DWA) Program provides small, once-off grants to support new community programs, activities, minor capital works, and equipment purchases that benefit residents of the City of Charles Sturt. Each of the eight Council wards has up to $22,000 (excl. GST) available per financial year, with individual applicants able to apply for up to $3,000 (excl. GST) per project. The program prioritises initiatives aligned with Council’s Community Plan and aims to foster sustainable, inclusive, and community-led outcomes rather than ongoing financial dependency.
