Once projects are approved, all applicants will need to have an agreement with the Goulburn Broken CMA.
For further information on this section, please contact Casey Damen on caseyd@gbcma.vic.gov.au or phone (03) 5820 1100.
Projects are approved by the CMA Board, and Commonwealth & State Ministers usually by August each year.
1. Agreements
Once projects are approved, all applicants will be advised in writing and will need to have an Agreement for the project with the Goulburn Broken CMA that outlines the funds approved, what the outputs for the project will be, timeframe of the project, project management requirements, final reporting and any other requirements.
In order to minimise administrative demand on community groups with smaller projects, the Goulburn Broken CMA has two levels of agreements, one for smaller projects and a more detailed and comprehensive agreement for major partners.
2. Reporting
Groups and organisations are required to report on projects at reasonable intervals. For most community groups, an annual (or final report) is required. For larger projects and major partners, quarterly or six monthly reports are required. We aim to minimise the frequency of reports and the amount of information required to that which is absolutely essential.
Final Reports are generally due in by July for projects that are funded in the previous financial year.
Final Reports should be signed and sent in hard copy to:
Darelle Siekman

PO Box 1752

3. Variations
Variations may be possible for some projects. A variation request form is now included with agreement paperwork. The reason for the variation, the current unspent funds and the alternate outputs and/or new project finish date should be included in your request and be forwarded by post to:

The variation will be reviewed in the context of the funding source requirements and other relevant information, and a written response will be provided.
