Community Project Fund and Budget Setting Task Group

The Community Project Fund and Budget Setting Cabinet Task Group advises Cabinet on the allocation of community project funds and the council's budget.

For the Community Project Fund, it assesses applications from councillors for projects that improve local facilities, wellbeing, and community resilience, recommending grant awards to Cabinet. For budget setting, it reviews proposals and provides comments to inform Cabinet's statutory budget decisions, considering affordability, deliverability, risk, and alignment with council priorities. This task group is advisory and has no delegated decision-making powers.
