This document makes the case for relocating the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Base East from Garden Island in Sydney to the Port of Port Kembla in the Illawarra region. It argues that Port Kembla offers significant advantages over Garden Island such as more space for maintenance and growth, improved security due to lower population density, and access to affordable housing and skilled labor pools. The region is well-located near existing Navy facilities at Jervis Bay and has infrastructure and educational institutions that could support an expanded naval presence. Relocating Fleet Base East to Port Kembla represents an opportunity for economic development in the Illawarra while freeing up the valuable Garden Island lands for other uses.

More from Regional Development Australia (RDA) Illawarra (20)
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Lets talk about Funding
Proposals
26. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
(BEFORE you launch into writing)
1. Know your organisation
2. Background information
3. Identify your needs
4. Bring in your ‘champions’/supporters
5. Understand the difference between government
and private sources
27. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
1. Know your organisation
- Know your organisation and why it exists
- Understand key aspects of your organisation:
structure,
mission/vision,
financial processes,
clients,
products or services,
core competencies, and
future aspirations
28. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
2. Background information
- Reflect on the specific grant guidelines and consider
background information that could support your submission:
Academic articles
Primary and/or secondary research
‘expert’ opinions
Surveys
Case studies, etc
29. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
3. Identify your needs
SUBSTANTIATE your need for funding!
Evidence based
Reports
Survey results
Gaps in products or services required by your org
Reference these to demonstrate support for your project
30. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
4. Identify your ‘champions’ or advocates
Those who support you, love what you do and are willing to
put this in a formal written document – these endorsements
can add considerable weight to your submission:
- Contact list of possible champions
- Write letters to all expressing your need for
support
- Meet with representatives of funding sources
- Perhaps consider starting an Advisory Committee
31. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Planning your submission
5. Understand the marketplace
- Government (local, state, federal)
- Private (foundations, trusts, non-govt)
32. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Create a submission timeline
33. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
The submission ‘skeleton’
The basic framework of any given grant submission:
- Covering letter
- Title page
- Summary
- Needs Statement/Assessment
- Response to all selection criteria
- Outcomes of your project (eg economic benefit)
- Articles, attachments & statistics
- Budget
35. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Developing your submission
(now we can start writing)
1.
1. Needs Statement
2. Aims & Objectives
3. Project Timeline/Schedule (Milestones)
4. Project Budget
5. Outcomes
6. Sustainability past funding
36. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need
- Also known as ‘problem statement’, ‘need statement’ or
‘needs assessment’
- Commonly referred to as the ‘heart’ of your grant
application
37. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need
Overall purpose is to demonstrate why the project is
important to the community:
- Describing the problem as it is NOW
- Indicating how the situation could be improved
- Should be motivating and capture the attention of the assessor
of the application – convince them that your project is
IMPORTANT
38. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need
- Highlight your credentials and state why yours is the most
appropriate organisation to receive the funding
- Bring in some of your findings from the ‘planning your
submission’ stage from earlier
- Should be a concise and coherent statement, supported by
evidence, on why the project needs to be undertaken
39. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need
General rules of thumb:
- Avoid jargon
- Avoid acronyms (do not assume that the assessor
knows what your abbreviations stands for)
- Do not assume any prior knowledge of the assessor or
funding body
- Don’t ‘editorialise’ – state the facts
- If you don’t have a compelling need, you don’t have a
compelling project!
REMEMBER - The Statement of Need drives everything else that is
in the grant proposal
40. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need
General rules of thumb:
Also….avoid ‘circular reasoning’, for example:
“The problem is that we have no youth centre. The solution is to
build a youth centre”
How do you know that the absence of a youth centre is a problem?
What kind of evidence (data) do you have to support your claims?
Your solution is not your problem!!
41. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need – poor
example
“Our youth have limited access to educational
resources. They are mostly from low-income
households, and the neighbourhood in general
is very distressed. We have one after-school
program that is well attended, but we need
more resources to reach more of our students.
Please help us educate our youth.”
(www.livewell.marshall.edu)
42. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need – poor
example
Problems with this needs statement:
- No data or evidence included
- Emotional appeal rather than rational
- No evidence to explain assumptions (ie
where is evidence to show that the youth are ‘mostly’
from low-income households?)
43. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need – good
example
“A 1999 report from the New York State Department of Health showed that
the Town of Libraryfield ranked among the worst in the state over a 3-year
average for infant mortality, low birth weight and premature births, late
entry into prenatal care, unmarried parents, teen pregnancies and poverty.
An Everywhere County Prenatal Focus Group report revealed that
communication by families and doctors is generally poor. There is a need
for information on: childbirth education opportunities, support services,
childbirth preparation, breastfeeding, sibling preparation for new baby,
and post-partum depression. The focus group indicated that the public
library could be helpful in directing new parents to resources and
materials. In order to meet this need, the library proposes a grant program
to expand collections and programs by linking for the first time with family
practitioners and the Libraryfield Memorial Hospital to reach expectant
and post-partum mothers and their children.”
http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/
44. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
1. Statement of Need – good
example
What makes it a strong statement?
• References the problem through a report by a
government department as well as findings from a local
committee
• Clear definition of the problem, and clear role for the
library to fill
• Supports the library’s existing mission statement
• Mention of partners
45. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
2. Aims & Objectives
AIMS:
• General statements of what you want to
accomplish
• Example: “To achieve greater workforce
participation by women”
46. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
2. Aims & Objectives
OBJECTIVES:
• The standard format: “To (action verb and statement
reflecting your measurement indicator) by
(performance standard) by (deadline) at a cost of no
more than (cost frame)
• Example: To increase the business skills of women in
our town by 10% through training in book-keeping and
report writing over 12 months at a cost of $7,000
47. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
A word on language and
writing style…
• Style should be simple and concise
– Emphasise benefits and end results, not tasks or
methods
– Familiarise yourself with the funding body’s
application, guidelines and related policy
documentation and help join the dots between your
project and their program material
– Use the language of the reader (easier said than
done!)
48. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
A word on language and writing
style…
• Writing Style
– Must reflect what the funding body wants and what
the reviewers will be looking for
– Be concise & clear
– Use short sentences and paragraphs (bullet points
can help to summarise responses and keep your
wordcount down)
49. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
A word on language and writing
style…
• Writing Style
– Avoid over-the-top formatting
– Use bold headings
– Use charts and graphs where appropriate
50. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
3. Project Timeline & Milestones
• Common requirement of many grant submissions
• Essentially a listing of all the key outcomes you
aim to achieve with your project
• Each outcome might include:
– Start/Finish dates
– Number of hours required to complete
– Key personnel responsible
– Costs associated with each major activity/milestone
– Consultants & Contractor services
– Non-personnel resources
– Milestones/performance indicators

52. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
4. Project Budget
• Very rare to see grant application (particularly
govt funding) that doesn’t require at least a simple
budget
• Not the most popular part of the submission!
• BUT it is essential to complete if you want to be in
with a chance..
53. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
4. Project Budget
Examples of costs to include:
– Staff
– Labour (including contractors)
– Suppliers
– Insurance
– Plant & Equipment
– Office/Admin costs (if eligible project cost)
– Marketing/promotion
– Travel
– Consultants (if eligible project cost)
– IP
54. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
4. Project Budget
And Remember –
Your Project Budget is NOT the same as
your organisational budget!
55. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
4. Project Budget - example
57. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
4. Project Budget
other considerations
• Requirements can vary dependent on submission size
and complexity
• Important to clearly outline the amount of funding
requested for each activity (ie salaries, travel,
construction, rent, insurances, equipment, labour,
technology etc)
• Don’t forget about matching funds if applicable
• MOST IMPORTANT – cross-check all project expenditure
against the ELIGIBLE COSTS listing in the program
guidelines!
58. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
5. Outcomes & Sustainability
Important to think beyond the grant lodgement
date and towards the outcomes and longevity
of your project if it’s successful
How will the funding for your project help
alleviate the problem described in your Needs
Statement?
59. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
5. Outcomes & Sustainability
What are the expected outcomes and how will
they be measured?
Include a plan to assess the project
Describe who will evaluate the project
Detail what records will be kept
Define how success will be
quantified/measured/evaluated
How will your project ‘survive’ after the funding
date? Is your project sustainable in the long-
term?
60. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
‘Economic benefit’ of your
project – NSRF example
Successful projects must:
“Deliver an economic benefit to the region beyond
the period of construction” (Rd 3 summary slides)
HOW can we demonstrate this??
61. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
REMPLAN online tool
“REMPLAN provides access to detailed demographic
data for 1991 to 2011 Census years, economic data
and maps for up to 114 industry sectors as well as
population and employment forecasts”

67. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Merit Criteria
Not all have but most large submissions will
Provide clues and insight into what assessors are
looking for
WILL be used to assess your application
Some will include ‘weightings’ against each criteria
Do not ignore!

70. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Merit Criteria – IMB Community
Foundation
Five (5) key Assessment Factors:
1. General Community support for project
2. Reach & Impact of project
3. Capacity for sustainability
4. Transfer of skills and knowledge (participants &
wider community)
5. Innovative qualities
http://www.imb.com.au/community-community-foundation.html
71. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Other considerations
Know the deadline and PLAN your submission!
Get your team involved early (particularly anyone
who will be involved in implementation)
Complete the application in its entirety (may seem
obvious but evidence shows otherwise)
No gaping holes (ie just because you don’t like
numbers doesn’t mean you leave out the budget!)
MANDATORY means precisely that
Apply an ‘Evidenced Based Mantra’
72. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Some ‘must-tick’ boxes for
success
1. Showing experience in the area that the grant
covers
2. Link this back to the grant’s objectives
3. Demonstrate your capabilities including resources
and staff and your methodologies
4. Show that you are already part of the community in
which the funds from the grant (show you
understand the issues)
73. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
Questions to ask
yourself
1. Am I writing more about my project or my
organisation? (very important)
2. Am I being specific about the features of my project
and the outcomes my project will generate?
3. Am I answering each question completely? (treat it
like a uni assignment and break it into chunks)
74. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
‘Collaboration’ – what does it
mean and how can you use it to
enhance your proposal?
75. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
“the action of working with
someone to produce something”
Oxford dictionary
76. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
The purpose of the program is to foster collaboration between
industry partners toward delivering a compelling, new-to-market
solution. This consortia model of Lead Company, Pilot
Organisation, and Partner is specifically designed to build
relationships that deliver a solution with a strong opportunity for
commercial success.

77. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016
‘Policy’ vs ‘Politics’
Two quite different but interrelated factors that can have a huge impact
on your funding proposal – and both out of the control of the applicant
78. RDA ILLAWARRA | GRANTS WORKSHOPS FEB 2016

Wise words..
“It’s important to view grants from a business
perspective. If you think about it in terms of helping
to solve a problem for government, that will
change the way you apply for funding”
