Draft Community Financial Assistance Policy
Council is inviting feedback from the community on our draft Community Financial Assistance Policy.
The draft Policy has been updated to ensure Council is able to better adapt, effectively reflect and service the changing needs of our community.
Over the last two years, a comprehensive review of the program was undertaken to examine current processes, identify best practices and identify a more transparent application and assessment process.
In addition to proposed changes to the program, a set of guiding principles and values have been established that better align with Council's Community Strategic Plan, Connecting Camden - Community Strategic Plan 2022-2036.
