Isaac is a region in transition.

It is a diverse and fiercely independent community which has had its fair share of challenging times in recent years.

Now faced with the COVID-19 pandemic and short-term economic instability, our resilience and determination will be our greatest assets as we embrace change and chart our own course to a sustainable future during these unprecedented times.

These initiatives include:

Isaac Region Community Chest Funds with grants of up to $10,000

• The program is available for small to medium businesses located and operating in the Isaac region and is inclusive of sole traders and partnerships.
• This grant provides short-term business continuity and longer-term resilience assistance such as professional advice, diversification, re-establishment costs or paying outgoing costs such as bills and rent.
• The program will be fluid, initially identifying immediate assistance required by small to medium businesses and evolving with the pandemic and short-term economic instability and assistance packages of the Australian and Queensland governments.

Special Emergency Community Grants of up to $5,000 

• Council has repurposed its 2019-2020 Community Grants program to provide direct financial assistance to the numerous community, cultural and sporting organisations in the region.
• Council acknowledges community groups may be experiencing financial hardship due to social restrictions preventing events or activities from being held which would normally be a source of revenue to fund recurrent expenses supporting the operations and memberships of organisations.
• Community organisations may wish to provide support to local households or vulnerable groups impacted by COVID-19 by way of food hampers or goodwill packages providing the essentials of life.
