ClubGRANTS

The ClubGRANTS Scheme (formerly Community Development Support Expenditure Scheme) is a shared State Government  - Club Industry program, funded by a 1.85% gaming machine tax rebate provided by the State Government to those registered clubs with gaming machine profits in excess of $1 million per annum. The Scheme is guided by the Gaming Machine Tax Act 2001.
 
ClubGRANTS is designed to ensure that larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to the provision of front-line social services to local communities. 
 
Auburn City Council adminsiters the scheme on behalf of the local clubs.

What are the funds used for?

Each year the Auburn ClubGRANTS Local Committee identifies local priorities and needs for the ClubGRANTS Scheme (Category 1 funding), and makes recommendations to local clubs.
 
Auburn City Council administers this scheme in the Auburn Local Government Area for expenditure defined as 'Category 1' covering the areas of: Community Welfare and Social Services; Community Development; Community Health Services and Employment Assistance Activities.
 
In Auburn, the ClubGRANTS Scheme promotes community support at a local level and Category 1 funding preference is for projects and services that assist people within the Auburn area.
