FACILITY AVAILABILITY
Council on its website maintains a list of Community Properties for Hire/Licence with a live
link to display “Facility Availability”. Any further enquiries about Council’s Community
Facilities can be made by logging a Customer Request through Councils Customer Service
Centre on 9725 0222.
Council’s Community Facilities are heavily utilised. Some are available for casual hire or
annual hire. The latter is based upon an application submission each year for allocation.
Some properties are occupied under Licence Agreements that are renewed in line with the
provision of reports by the Licensees demonstrating ongoing community benefit and the
continued provision of the appropriate insurances and business compliance requirements.
If Community Facilities become vacant an “Expression of Interest” process is undertaken.
This process is governed by legislated requirements and includes advertisement to ensure
equity of opportunity and equal access to information advising that application are open.
“Expression of Interest” advertisements for Community Facilities appear for a period of 28
days in Council’s corporate page of the local newspaper.
GRANTS AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Council and other external bodies provide a variety of grant and funding opportunities
throughout the year to support community achievement in a number of social, sporting,
cultural and environmental initiatives.
Council maintains information about funding opportunities including the Mayoral Donations
Scheme on the website at

Further information is available by contacting Council on 9725 0880.
Fairfield City Council continues to provide and update information available on its website. The website
