Dubbo Regional Council is inviting community feedback on a proposed new Community Funding Framework and revised Financial Assistance Policy.

These changes aim to simplify and streamline how Council supports local groups, events, and initiatives that deliver meaningful benefits to the Dubbo region. The proposed framework consolidates multiple funding programs into a single, more accessible process, with clearer guidelines and consistent assessment criteria.

We want to hear from you! The draft documents are now on public exhibition, and we welcome your feedback to help shape the policy and framework.

In accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act 1998, written submissions received by Council containing personal information may be made public when the matter goes before Council for consideration, as it may be included in Council’s Business Papers. Persons have the right to remain anonymous if they so choose by refraining from submitting their personal information, however, the submission may be given less weight in the overall assessment and consideration of the draft framework and policy.
