Shared responsibility scheme

The Porirua City Council Shared Responsibility Scheme funds projects that provide, develop or renovate cultural, social, recreational and sports facilities on Council-owned land within Porirua.

Priority is given to projects which will enjoy the widest use by the Community. Joint applications from groups proposing to share facilities are encouraged.

Projects must be consistent with Council’s strategic focus areas, the Long-term Plan and other policies.

Please note: The Shared Responsibility Scheme is currently being reviewed. During this time, Council is not accepting applications. If any organisation wants to make bids to the Council for funding, these should be made as part of the next Long-term Plan consultation, due to occur in 2021.
