The Aveley Community Fund is discretionary funding made available annually from the Aveley Community Facilities and Services Reserve Fund (known as the Aveley Community Reserve Account), for local community groups, public events and initiatives. The Aveley Community Fund is supported by the Aveley Community Advisory Group (ACAG) which is made up of representatives from the City of Swan, Stockland Development Pty Ltd and the Aveley community.

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each, however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details, as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
