Community Transport Grant

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM 

The Community Transport Support grant creates opportunities for organisations and groups to access community transport. It is intended to provide a clear and consistent process for the determination of requests for monetary support to community groups or organisations, and assist to reduce social isolation and promote recreational activities within or outside Camden’s LGA.

Applications will be accepted throughout the year on an ad hoc basis. The program guidelines and operating procedures ensure that monetary requests to Council are dealt with in a fair and equitable manner and are consistent with the principles of community wellbeing. Council recognises the potential for situations to arise where one off assistance to a group or individual can have long term benefit to residents and the community especially those involved in undertaking activities that support recreational activities requiring transport which have direct benefit to residents of Camden LGA.
