Greater Western Water [GWW] has awarded a number of grants to Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay organisations through its inaugural Thriving Communities grants and sponsorship program.
GWW received 90 applications for funding last October, with 11 groups receiving sponsorship of up to $5000, including the Hobsons Bay Toy Library and five groups awarded grants of up to $20,000, including Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek for the development of an urban forest project in Brooklyn.
GWW strategy and partnerships general manager Kessia Thomson said it was good to see locally led projects creating opportunities to increase participation in community life.
“We received many outstanding applications for projects across our area, all with the purpose of inspiring and connecting people to community or country,” she said.
“We’re proud to help sixteen groups bring their diverse ideas to life and actively contribute to making our region a great place to live.”
The next round of applications will open in March 2023.
