APPLICATIONS for council's community grants open on July 15, with money available for organisational and project support, conservation projects and capital infrastructure.
Redland mayor Karen Williams said that each year council provided more than $300,000 in grants and sponsorship that would support projects and initiatives aimed at strengthening the Redlands Coast community.
She urged anyone with a project or initiative that could deliver benefits to the wider community to apply.
"Last year, council grants contributed to a variety of projects, from supporting the Minjerribah Respite Community Garden on North Stradbroke Island and Conservation Volunteers Australia with weed control across Coochiemudlo Island, to providing vital equipment for wildlife carers on Redlands Coast," Cr Williams said.
"Council also supported first aid training, coach accreditation and strategic planning for a number of sport and recreation clubs as well as for Victoria Point's Meals on Wheels.
"Council's sponsorship program helped to bring a range of fantastic community events to Redlands Coast last year, including the Cleveland, Camping and Boating Expo and the Quandamooka Festival. Council is also sponsoring two community days for NAIDOC week, one on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and one in Capalaba."
Applications will be accepted from July 15 to August 12.
