2. Ti Tree Bioenergy Community Fund Proposal
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Jim Madden:
2. Ti Tree Bioenergy Community Fund Proposal
This report outlines a proposal to incorporate a “community fund” under the Ti Tree Bioenergy Payments Governance Framework. The framework has been updated to include the provision of grant submissions from the community through an applications process. Grants will be considered for projects which may be delivered on private land or in public spaces across the city. This fund will be governed in accordance with Council’s existing community funding and support policy and procedure.
This extension to the existing Ti Tree funding framework and governance will not only diversify the range of supported projects but also respond to concerns and provide opportunities to the wider community to realise the benefits of Ti Tree Bioenergy’s annual payments to council.
