Before you apply
- Read the criteria, including the unusually specific parts.
- Obtain one sensible quote and one backup estimate written on something durable.
- Confirm the activity occurs within the Shire, or close enough to be discussed.
- Do not purchase anything before approval unless you were going to buy it anyway.
How we assess applications
A panel of two officers and whichever manager is nearest the meeting room considers community benefit, value for money, deliverability and whether the proposed outcome can be photographed from a normal standing position.
