Latrobe City Council has a proud history of working in partnership with the community to meet local needs. A new grant stream called the Traffic Management Grant for Community Groups (TMG) continues to provide support to groups who serve the Latrobe City Community.

The objectives of the Traffic Management for Community Groups grant program are to support community groups based in Latrobe City with the burden of providing traffic management solutions for events.

This program is a one off and non-recurrent funding program open to Latrobe City based, not for profit community groups to provide access to either:

• Traffic management training for volunteers;
• Funding to engage a contractor to manage traffic for a one-off event; or
• Development of an event Traffic Management Plan.

A maximum funding amount of $5,000 excluding GST ($5,500 including GST) will be provided to successful applicants.

The total value of the grant program including Round One is $50,000. No further grants will be available once these funds are distributed. The application process uses an online system called SmartyGrants. If you have used it before you may have some information saved from your previous submissions. If not, you can save your information this time to make your next grant application easier.
