Budget tips

All budget items must be exclusive of GST.
Provide a comprehensive budget including the anticipated grant amount shown as ‘income’.
Include total budget income and expenditure for the entire project, not just the Council contribution. This can include in-kind venue hire (per hour), volunteer hours, donations, etc.
Declare all sources of income relating to the project, including other grants, donations and in-kind contributions such as volunteer hours, use of facilities, etc. It is suggested that in-kind hours be calculated at $30 per hour.
Reflect donations and in-kind support on both sides of your budget (see budget example).
Total Income (including anticipated grant amount) should equal Total Expenditure.
Provide a valid GST-compliant invoice on the Council template provided.
