Subsidised lane hire application rejected
Central Coast Council staff have recommended against subsidising lane hire at the Peninsula Leisure Centre for The Scuba Gym Australia Ltd.
The organisation applied for a community support grant from the council.
The application was "not recommended for funding as the project is ineligible as per clause 7.20 of the Community Support Grant Program Guidelines."
The clause excludes "Existing projects or programs that require additional funding." A staff report to council stated: "The Community Support Grant Program remains open throughout the year to provide assistance for community activities that require in-kind support through the provision of subsidised access to Council services and financial assistance for community activities that require a small amount of support.
"This program enables applicants to apply for funding support in a faster response time.
"Council's grant programs are provided to support the community to deliver quality programs, projects or events that build connections, celebrate our local community, and align with the One-Central Coast Community Strategic Plan and build capacity across the entire Central Coast community."
