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 attend the Community Engagement and Cultural Planning Course
.

Registrations will be open from Tuesday 1 May 2012!

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.
