Joint Community Program (Reference 123)
Joint Community Program grants are for joint use facilities that were transferred from the regional offices and incorporated into the Student Resource Package (SRP).
Funding is dependent on individual service agreements (administered by regional offices) between the department and an external provider.
The agreements are generally established under a committee of management with representation from schools and other parties, such as municipal offices, and allocated on advice from regions.
Funding is calculated at the Indicative cycle and may be updated at the Confirmed cycle. Funding is allocated through cash funding.
From 2026, the program will start being phased out and be fully phased out by 2029 and schools will receive 75% of their full funding entitlement in the 2026 SRP.
