LEADER Funding
Projects assisted will be innovative in nature and must demonstrate community support and involvement.
What makes a project innovative?
“Innovation is the process that translates knowledge into economic growth and social well-being”.
Australian Research Council (part of the Australian Government)
It could be a service or facility for the rural community that has never been provided in the area before. It may be a new way of doing something or the development of an existing service or facility.
Sustainable Development
All projects receiving grant aid must provide an economic benefit to the rural area, no matter how small or indirect. Projects must be of benefit to local people and must not be detrimental to the environment.
