Neighbourhood events grant
Bring your neighbourhood together with help from Tea Tree Gully Council's Neighbourhood Grant program.
Additional funds are available to celebrate Australia Day weekend gatherings.
$200 grants are available to support neighbourly connection and bring your street to life. You can:
- host a neighbourhood celebration
