Webinar: Grants Commission data – why we collect it and why it’s important
May 20, 2025
The Victorian Local Government Grants Commission prepares recommendations to the Commonwealth Government for the allocation of financial assistance grants to support councils in delivering services to their communities.
The Commission’s allocation methodology relies on data provided by councils in an annual data questionnaire. Much of this data is also shared with third parties, including the Australian Bureau of Statistics. A lodgement date of the first Wednesday in November is set for the receipt of the annual questionnaire from councils.
This webinar will feature presentations from members of the Grants Commission team and they will provide important context on why this information is collected. There will also be time for participants on the webinar to ask questions.
Date: Thursday, 28 August 2025
Time: 12.30pm – 1.30pm
