Stage 1 documents
Mandatory documents
The following documents are mandatory. They must be included for your application to be eligible.
| Mandatory document | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Constitution, Foundation or Governance document | Any format will be accepted. Most incorporated organisations have a document which sets out their purpose and organisation rules |
| Financial statements | Include your organisation’s financial statements for 2022-23 and 2023-24. (You may have already provided these to Consumer Affairs Victoria [through myCAV] or to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission as part of their required annual reporting.) |
| Project Concept | Outline plan and concept for the proposed fit-out and how the community centre would look. You should include: a proposed design and services configuration (include any specialised equipment), streetscape requirements, parking and external storage requirements, security requirements. You should also include: an outline of the range of anticipated community activities and operating hours you propose for the centre, your proposed financial resourcing for the fit-out costs, and a proposed operating model. Any format will be accepted. |
| Copies of minutes from your last two Annual General Meetings | Any format will be accepted. |
Optional documents — attach if available
The following documents are not mandatory but you should attach them if they are available as doing so will likely improve your assessment score.
It is not anticipated that applicants will have all or even some of these documents.
Providing any of these documents assists the department to assess your organisation’s and your proposed project’s level of readiness but the assessment process also considers a broad range of other criteria.
| Readiness document | Requirements |
|---|---|
| If available, copies of professional conceptual drawings or schematics for the proposed project | Any format will be accepted. |
You may opt to attach further supporting documents to strengthen your application such as a letter of support or your organisation’s current calendar of activities.
