Applications are opening in December and in January for a range of Council-administered funds to support community projects and events in the Waikato district for next year.

There are funds for supporting creative and performing arts, heritage, conservation and a range of other community projects and events – so get your thinking caps on and tell us what you need!

Three funds have closing dates in February for their first round of applications for the year:

• Waikato District Council Discretionary Grants Fund (opens 1 December, closes 2 February)

• Creative Communities Fund (opens 1 December, closes 23 February)

• Heritage Project Fund (opens 19 January, closes 23 February)

The Waikato District Community Wellbeing Trust Fund has a single funding round for the year which opens on 26 January and closes on 30 March.

In the past financial year the Council committed grants totalling more than $750,000 for distribution to 160 community groups and charities throughout the district enabling communities to come together to meet local needs.

These included more than $610,000 of targeted and discretionary Council funds, another $48,441 distributed on behalf of the Creative Communities Scheme Fund, and $88,250 distributed on behalf of the Waikato District Community Wellbeing Trust, an independent trust the Council administers.

The Heritage Project Fund was a new Council initiative last year. Among the first projects it funded were heritage signs for Raglan and Te Kowhai, and restoration work on the exterior of the Tuakau Museum.

chickens

Brin from Ngaruawahia

Got a tad of a problem, we have four chickens, couple of years old.
They have gone into retirement in green lawns, gardens when they escape and food on tap whenever they want a peck or two.

Got a tad of a problem, we have four chickens, couple of years old.
They have gone into retirement in green lawns, gardens when they escape and food on tap whenever they want a peck or two.
Any form of activity which would mean the demise of the birds is not on my wife's agenda plus being Brown Shavers the energy wasted in catching the birds would far outweigh the gains in chicken stock, even if the feathers were left on.
To overcome the eggless situation it has been suggested that the best method is to heave a rooster into the chook run stand back and watch the circus
They are not allowed in town, but perhaps a day time visit from one might escape the attention from council
Pretty sure we can return the bird in a worn out condition
Cheers
