Bonnyrigg Town Centre Activation Program - 2023/2024

Submissions closed at 2:00PM 5 May 2023 (AEST).

Welcome to Fairfield City Council's online grant application service for the Bonnyrigg Town Centre Activation Program.

Bonnyrigg Town Centre is a unique place of cultural unity and diversity; it is the embodiment of a modern multicultural community.  It is a place that is waiting to be discovered by locals and visitors alike.  Its community provides an experience where people are engaged and empowered, who share their knowledge freely and are supportive in building a culture of understanding that extends far beyond the Town Centre of Bonnyrigg.

The Bonnyrigg Town Centre Activation Program provides financial assistance to not-for-profit organisations that support the unique diversity of Bonnyrigg. The grant program provides opportunities for activities and events to be held, that are open to all to attend and that support the Bonnyrigg Vision with its rich culture and community spirit.

One-off grants of up to $3,500 (excluding GST) are available to assist in delivering activities and events within the Bonnyrigg Town Centre. Each year, Council receives more applications than it can fund, therefore this is a competitive grants program.

Applications for funding will open on Monday 17 April 2023 and close at 2pm on Friday 5 May 2023. Incomplete applications and/or applications received after the closing date will not be considered.

Questions regarding the eligibility criteria, guidelines, deadlines or the application form should be referred to the Parks Place Coordinator on 9725 0701 or email myounan@fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au.

On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.

You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.

SAVING YOUR DRAFT APPLICATION

If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.

You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.

SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.

Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.

Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.

Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.

ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

COMPLETING AN APPLICATION IN A GROUP/TEAM

A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.

SPELL CHECK

Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
