Donations and fee waivers

We financially assist individuals and not-for-profit organisations, community groups and local schools, by providing a one-off donation or a fee waiver:

  • to support an activity, program, community event, special event or service that provides a benefit to the Blacktown City community
  • to support community awareness campaigns that align with our Community strategic plan
  • to support local schools’ use of Council’s sporting fields and aquatic facilities during school hours, excluding school carnivals
  • to support a charitable fundraising event that is open to the general public.

Applicants must be based within the Blacktown local government area, or if not based solely in our local government area, the activity, project, event or program must be delivered in our City for the benefit of our local community.
