How to claim a successful grant allocation

Grants of less than $1,000 will be automatically paid to the grant recipient in October 2023.

Grants of $1,000 or more require a Completion Report with the following documentation attached and forwarded to Council:

  • Substantiation of your group’s expenditure on the project in accordance with the grant application (for example, a copy of a supplier’s invoice to your organisation)
  • An invoice from your organisation to Horsham Rural City Council requesting payment of the grant.  Your organisation’s invoice should not include GST as the contribution is considered a donation under GST law

Please submit the Completion Report online here:

Paper copies are available from the Civic Centre, Roberts Avenue Horsham. A Word version is also available to download below.

If you have any queries regarding payment of your grant, please contact Karen Maybery, Coordinator General Accounting Unit, on 53829733 or karen.maybery@hrcc.vic.gov.au.
