Grant application forms which outlined eligibility criteria were currently being prepared by Council staff.<\/p>\n<p>The Mayor said the Fund would always aim to keep a block of money in trust to allow for rapid distribution in case of future emergencies &#8211; for example, any repeat of the 2011 or 2013 floods.<\/p>\n<p>But it would aim to maintain its capital through regular fundraising events, including the annual Mayor&#8217;s Charity Gala Ball.<\/p>\n<p>Cr Kathy Duff questioned whether there would be a risk of any overlap between grants given by the Fund and grants given by Council itself, such as the SBRC&#8217;s Community Assistance Grants program.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Kratzmann replied that the Advisory Committee would be advised by council staff so this could be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, because all successful grant round applications would need to be approved at a Council meeting, councillors would have the opportunity to check for any overlaps themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/08\/30932-raised-at-mayors-ball\/\">$30,932 Raised At Mayor\u2019s Ball<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2013\/07\/cyclists-tour-the-south-burnett\/\">Cyclists Tour The South Burnett<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former South Burnett Division 6 Cr Cheryl Dalton will be taking up a new role in public life shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[22,3],"tags":[1131],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
