Community Club Grants
As part of its Supporting Local Community Clubs Policy, the ACT Government invited small and medium clubs and club groups (defined as having Gross Gaming Machine Revenue less than $4m in 2016-17) to apply for a $10,000 Community Club Grant (GST inclusive) during 2017-18. The Grant was intended to assist small and medium clubs / club groups in the ACT to remain viable and diversify their income away from gaming revenue. The Justice and Community Safety Directorate administered grant applications and awarded fourteen grants to eligible clubs.
