Community Hall Program

Community halls

As a proud member of our local communities, we’re honoured to be able to support grassroots organisations like community halls who give back to their communities.

There are some exciting changes to the Community Hall Program, from 2022, Community Halls will be included in our Community Choices Program – which means new and increased funding opportunities available for your hall.

Under the revised program, Community Halls can nominate to be in the running for a range of funding, from $300 to $2,500. For this year, to help with the move to merge our Community Halls program into our broader Community Choices program, we have made an additional funding stream available exclusively for Community Halls, allowing up to 160 eligible halls across our network area to receive $300 in funding. To receive funding, you’ll need to secure online votes from your community of supporters.

We will assist all nominated halls with a variety of tips and tools to reach out to your local communities to get them voting for you.

Nominations are now open and close 20 March. We invite you to nominate your community hall in the 2022 Community Choices Program. Visit our Community Choices Program page to nominate your hall.
