Greater Shepparton City Council adopted the recommendation of the Grant Assessment Panel to fund two projects including Schnitz Shepparton and Nedal Kebabs to the total value of $13,200 through the New Business Grants at Tuesday’s Ordinary Council Meeting.
Council’s New Business Grant provides funding for infrastructure or initiatives that support the establishment of new businesses in Greater Shepparton.
Council received and assessed two applications. Both applicants have applied for funding for works associated with establishing restaurants within the Shepparton CBD.
In 2017 Council resolved to establish the New Business Grant as an initiative to assist in the establishment of new businesses within the municipality. The grant aims to act as an incentive for businesses to invest within the Greater Shepparton region and create jobs.
Funding is available to support investment in property or infrastructure improvements that are directly linked to the establishment of a new business. Applications will be received throughout the year and assessed in three rounds. Applicants are required to match funding provided through the grant and demonstrate the suitability and viability of their business as part of their application.
Applications are required to meet the grant criteria detailed within the guidelines. The guidelines for the grant program can be found at Council’s website - http://greatershepparton.com.au/community/grants-and-funding/new-business-grant. For more information on how to apply, please contact Council's Economic Development team on 5832 9700.
