FURTHER FUNDING APPROVED FOR LOCAL GRANTS PROGRAM
While visiting the Guildford Primary School to hear about their First World War honour board restoration, I am pleased to announce that I have approved a further 275 grants totalling $2.46 million under the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program. This brings the total number of grants approved to 606 grants across 123 electorates, with $5.8 million being made available to date for communities to implement commemorative projects.
The Centenary of Anzac will mark a century of service and sacrifice, encompassing all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations in which Australians have been involved. It will be the most significant period of commemoration in our nation’s history and the Government is committed to providing opportunities for all Australians to participate.
It is outstanding how local communities are showing their enthusiasm and involvement in commemorating the centenary. We have seen incredible support across the country of the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program and communities have given great thought to how they can remember those who served in the First World War.
There are a wide range of commemorative stories and activities being funded through this program spanning from school projects, war memorials and honour rolls and community events to remember those who were involved in the war, and encapsulating the service and sacrifice of those who have worn the nation’s uniform.
Some projects recently funded include:
- Gallipoli and Beyond: a range of events, educational and artistic activities in the City of Borrondara to commemorate the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli in April 2015 - Electorate of Kooyong, VIC
- The Anzac Memorial Gun Project – Restoration and display of 18 pounder gun used in First World War – Electorates of Eden-Monaro, Warringah and Canberra
- An Interactive Audio device at the Mandurah War Memorial to tell the Anzac story in the Mandurah context – Electorate of Brand
- A Commemorative Schools Event, a Community Arts Event and Stage a Production and Exhibition for the Centenary of The First World War – Electorate of Canning.
The Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program is a key element of the Australian Government’s Anzac Centenary Program. Up to $125,000 in funding has been made available to each of the 150 Federal electorates to commemorate the First World War.
More information about the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program is available at the Anzac Centenary website.
