The cash is available to spend by the end of January 2010 providing it meets the criteria of stronger and safer communities, improvements in health and well being, improving access to services or being environmentally sustainable.
The project could be anything from outdoor park play equipment, purchasing trees for planting to new equipment for an existing group.
