ORGANISATIONS can bid for up to $20,000 in the next round of federal MP Andrew Laming’s Shark Tank series.
The funding is from the federal government’s Stronger Communities program, with each electorate provided with $150,000 to fund small capital projects such as building, facility and equipment upgrades.
Mr Laming said short-listed Shark Tank contenders would pitch their ideas and plans to him and local business leaders at a special presentation dinner.
Successful projects were determined by votes.
“There’s a lot of energy in the room,” Mr Laming said.
“It’s a fantastic night of fun, networking and community togetherness.
“But most importantly, with these grants we have the opportunity to benefit all Redlanders by adding real value to the level of services and infrastructure across our region.”
Mr Laming said he would be interested to consider projects with a sporting focus, although all inspiring ideas were welcome.
Applications close on October 11.
