Beautify your business with help from Northern Grampians Shire Council
Applications are now open for round two of grants under the Northern Grampians Shire ‘Business Beautification Program.’
Council is offering grants of up to $5,000 matched dollar for dollar with funding by local businesses to bring more life and colour to our streetscapes.
The program is available to local businesses and shop owners across the shire wanting to improve the appearance of their shop fronts by undertaking projects such as signage updates, modernising shop front materials, facade works and more.
