Verified source record
Check the official source before making a decision.
An independent second-person reviewer reopened the official source and checked the material fields. This remains guidance, not a legal eligibility decision, and the funder’s current rules control.
Church-specific reading
What appears relevant
Eligible entities and auspiced applicants must demonstrate direct benefit to the Clarence community; the fact sheet excludes the core business of religious organisations so worship and ordinary religious operations are not eligible
Unclear or confirm with the funder
Questions still needing an authoritative answer
- Which exact legal entity must apply, and whether incorporation or an ABN is mandatory.
- Whether DGR status, an auspice or a particular denominational affiliation is required.
- Which worship, religious, property or existing-cost exclusions apply to this project.
- Whether co-contribution, owner consent or internal church approvals must be evidenced.
