Partnership Agreements

Partnership Agreements provide long-term, strategic funding support to organisations that deliver ongoing programs, services, or community initiatives that align with the Shire of Harvey’s priorities. They typically involve multi-year commitments and may include both financial and in-kind support. These agreements are designed to strengthen key community partnerships, increase service delivery capacity, and ensure sustained benefits for residents across the Shire. 

Amount Available 

Funding levels are determined through negotiation, based on: 

  • The scale and duration of the program or service. 
  • Demonstrated community need and level of impact. 
  • The organisation’s capacity, governance, and resourcing. 
  • Alignment with Shire strategies and priorities.
