How to apply
Applications are made through
The Hills Shire Council
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to The Hills Shire Council's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.
