WCCT Sub-Regional Trusts

The Northern, Central and Southern Sub-Regional Trusts are all separate charitable trusts operating under the WCCT to oversee community development projects. The three Sub-Regional Trusts jointly receive 35% of all financial contributions made to the Main Trust. All have separate Boards of Directors, elected from the Traditional Owner Groups from their respective regions. There is also Shire Council representation on the Sub-Regional Trusts.

Each Sub-Regional Trust has its own Grant Funding Guidelines, which are available as downloadable documents (see right).
