Project Summary:

Local councils in regional NSW have access to State Government financial grants to fund or partially fund significant projects that benefit the community. These range from upgrading playgrounds and parks, to new infrastructure such as roads, bridges and property assets. Often with these projects time is in short supply. In order to capitlise on the opportunities available through these grants, Projence offers an outsource option – employing the assistance of professional grant writers to help secure the funding required. Our team has worked with a host of regional NSW councils including Moree, Gunnedah, and Narromine to achieve successful grant applications.

Challenges:

Timeframe and deadline can sometimes be a challenge in these projects. However, Projence has always maintained a high regard for urgency and deadlines – ensuring no submission was ever missed.
