Funds available to support local projects
Kids from Belfast School enjoy growing things in their edible garden with funding from the Shirley/Papanui Community Board.
Every financial year the Shirley/Papanui Community Board is allocated funds to help with projects in its local community.
In the 2001/2002 year, starting in July 2001, the Shirley/Papanui Community Board has $50,000 at its discretion to use for unbudgeted expenditure. Requests for funding may come from community groups, or from other units of the Council. Last year some of the funds granted were for:
