GREATER Western Water is encouraging community groups across Hume, Sunbury, and the Macedon Ranges regions to apply for a grant or sponsorship through its Thriving Communities program.
Applications are now open for not-for-profit organisations to apply for a grant of up to $20,000 for projects and up to $5000 for community activities that help local communities, environment, and industry to thrive.
Greater Western Water’s General Manager for Strategy and Partnerships Kessia Thompson said GWW is proud to support projects that make a meaningful difference in the community.
“Our service area is diverse, vibrant, and growing, and we’re supporting initiatives that help people feel connected and included,” she said.
“Through Thriving Communities, we’re investing in local projects that strengthen community ties, promote sustainability, and enhance wellbeing.”
Since 2022, GWW has supported over 60 community-led initiatives including the Macedon Ranges Music Festival Inc, which received $5000 to support last month’s Macedon Ranges Music Festival at Hanging Rock.
Greater Western Water is accepting applications for projects that occur between July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Applications are open now until April 9, with successful recipients announced in June.
