THREE Loddon Shire officers will review community grant application assessments in a shake-up of funding approvals.
Councillors on Tuesday approved the new process recommended by acting manager community support Paul Scullie.
Community wellbeing director Wendy Gladman said that under the changes, organisations would no longer have to wait up to 12 months to make a grant application.
Councillors would be provided with a report after grants had been approved.
Mr Scullie’s report comes after the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office recommended changes in a review released in June.
VAGO recommendations included improved management of the conflict of interest process, review of the assessment and approvals process, review of the eligibility criteria to assess validity and rigour and streamlining of the acquittal process.
