Overview

The Creative Networks Fund (CNF) is designed to support local regional government authorities (LGA’s) to develop their capacity to use art and culture to improve the lives of their citizens.

CNF grants will be made available each year to regional local government authorities. The grants will provide skills  development, mentoring and networking with intensive  training over a period of eight to ten months, and an  ongoing connection to CAN WA and like-minded Local Government Authorities (LGA) for three years.

Participants will have the opportunity to undertake the Community Engagement and Cultural Planning Course
that consists of two units of competency at Diploma level:

LGACOM502B   Devise and Conduct Community  Consultations
LGAGOVA606B   Develop and Maintain a Community Cultural Plan

Participants may choose to complete assessment requirements to attain national recognition for these units.

An expression of interest will be called once a year for regional local governments to apply for the CNF grants.

Who can nominate?

Each LGA can nominate up to two individuals (a senior manager and/or elected member/community leader or
a senior manager and officer) to participate. However, the grant is provided to the regional local government.

Therefore, if a participant moves on from the workplace, a replacement may be nominated.
