Team Contact (Not Applicable)

This section is not applicable because of your response to question: "Is the applicant part of a group or team that has other members from the Sunshine Coast Local Government Area attending the same event" on page 1

Why is a Team Contact Needed?

The total amount of funding to members of a group or team attending the same event cannot exceed $2,000. Therefore, we need to know how many eligible individuals will be applying for funding for the same activity/event. As assessment periods are every two months, we need all applications for an event to be submitted in the same two month period. The Team Contact will be responsible for coordinating this.

Important notes:

  • Any team member who wishes to apply, must submit their own application. Team applications will not be accepted.
  • All questions in this section must be answered by the applicant (not the Team Contact)
  • The Grants Team will contact the Team Contact (via email in the first instance) for a list of all team members who reside in the Sunshine Coast Local Government Area.
  • For further information phone the Grants Team on 5420 8616.
This must already be agreed amongst Team Members. All team memers who fill in a form should have the same information here.

The Grants Team will contact the Team Contact for a list of all team members who reside in the Sunshine Coast Local Government area.
