Gunnedah Shire businesses have until the end of the month to apply for funding through round one of the Business Partner Program.

While the special additional COVID-19 round of the program has closed, applications remain open for round one – providing a great opportunity for new businesses and those that are exploring something new.

Businesses can apply for funding for initiatives that will encourage local employment and help build the Shire’s strong business base.

The Business Partner Program has given more than 65 local businesses a helping hand with a total of more than $240,000 in funding since the program began.

If you would like some advice about how to put together an application for the Business Partner Program, you can send an email to council@infogunnedah.com.au

Applications are assessed by a panel and funding is recommended based on estimated economic or employment benefit to the Gunnedah Shire community and will be awarded based on the funding available.

Applications close on 30 June.
