BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Welcome to the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council online grant application service, powered by Smartygrants.

You may begin anywhere in this application form. Make sure you save as you go.  

If you need help using this form, download the Help Guide for Applicants, and the Frequently Asked Questions (available under the green Help Button at the top of the screen).

NAVIGATING (MOVING THROUGH) THE APPLICATION FORM

On the right hand side of every screen, there is a box which links directly to every page of the application. Use the link to move directly to the page you want. You can also use the 'next page' or 'previous page' options on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application. 

SAVING YOUR DRAFT APPLICATION

If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back, click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen.  Here you will find a list of applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and continue where you left off. 

SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel.  You will need to review your application before you can submit it. Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the Navigation Panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed.

Once you have submitted your application, you will not be able to edit or upload further supporting material.

After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register. 

If you do not receive a confirmation email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been received.  

Hint: check that the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk email folder. 

ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is 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  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 the application using the same login details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
