Before you prepare your application please read the Creative Communities Scheme
Application Guide. 
This guide tells you:
- Whether you are able to apply for Creative Communities Scheme funding for your project
 - Which projects and costs are eligible and ineligible
 - What information you will need to include in your application.
 
Note: Council, alongside Creative New Zealand, has undertaken a review of the Creative Community Scheme process to streamline the process for both our decision-makers and customers.
As a result of the review the form has been amended as follows:
- Applications will have a      maximum word count of 500 words for the 5 specific questions.
 - Applicants are limited      in the amount of information that can be uploaded as attachments.       Applicants are encouraged to include electronic links within their      applications, if needed.
 - Applicants will no      longer be required to present their applications in person or by virtual      means.
