Mid West Community Grants
The Mid West Community Grant Program opens once each year for funding requests from the community for up to $4,000 in support of initiatives that will directly benefit the Mid West community.
The Program is funded by Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) and joint venture partner Beach Energy, the Waitsia Gas Project joint venturers.
The next round of applications will be open from 1 October 2026 until 31 October 2026.
