Anzac Centenary Local
Grants Program receives
funding boost

Federal Member for Corangamite, Sarah
Henderson, today announced that funding
for the Anzac Centenary Local Grants
Program (ACLGP) had increased to
$125,000.
“The Centenary of Anzac will be the
most significant national period of
commemoration in our nation’s history,
and the Anzac Centenary Local Grants
Program is an integral part of the Coalition
Government’s commitment to local
commemorations in Corangamite,” Ms
Henderson said.
“The Coalition Government has increased
funding available for Corangamite by
$25,000, ensuring that the local community
will have up to $125,000 available to
commemorate the Centenary of Anzac.”
“This increase will ensure that local
community-based events are at the heart of
the nation’s commemorative activities.”
“It is important that our community works
together to ensure that we pay appropriate
tribute to those locals who answered the
call to serve their nation, along with many
who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence
of our values and beliefs.”
“The Anzac Centenary Local Grants
Program will give the Corangamite
community the opportunity to honour
the service and sacrifice that epitomizes

the ANZAC spirit. There are many
different ways this can be done – from
traditional dawn services and marches
of veterans, through to re-enactments of
recruiting marches, school-based education
programmes, refurbishing of memorials
and honour boards, and the establishment
of new places of commemoration and
reflection.”
“The Anzac Centenary Community
Grants Committee for Corangamite will
assess applications for funding and make
recommendations to me about projects
to be submitted to the Department of
Veterans’ Affairs for consideration.”
The closing date to receive funding
applications has been extended.
Applications must be received by the
Department of Veteran’s Affairs no later
than 30 May 2014.
“I will ask the Committee to do everything
it can to ensure that the allocated funding
is shared between as many groups and
commemorative events as possible.”
“I look forward to working with the
community to deliver commemorations
that will honour our nation’s centenary
of service, and mark the nation-defining
events of the Centenary of Anzac in ways
that we can all be proud of,” Ms Henderson
said.
