• the applicant must have, or will ensure that, all permits and other approvals relating to the funding application are addressed and that there is adequate insurance to cover the project
• funding recipients are required to provide proof of use of the funding for the prescribed purpose. This proof will involve producing receipts or bank statements verifying expenditure of the funds, along with the completion of an evaluation form (unless an evaluation form is not required under a particular grant program)

• applications will only be accepted in the format specified by each individual grant program, and only complete applications will be considered
• applicants are required to give permission for Council to use the grant information for promotional and public information
• if one of the foregoing criteria cannot be met, a community organisation may seek special consideration by contacting the relevant Council branch administering the grant to apply for exceptional circumstances or special consideration under the relevant grant guidelines (not applicable to Community Benefit Fund)
• successful applicant's details, including name of community organisation, amount and purpose of grant, will be published on Council's website and displayed on Council's public noticeboard when required under the Local Government Act 2009.
