Are there any local grants for community organisations in Dunedin?

The Dunedin Community Operations team support the Lottery Otago / Southland  Community Committee and two COGS committees serving local communities and neighbourhoods:

  • Central Otago COGS Committee
  • Coastal Otago / Waitaki COGS Committee 

You can email an enquiry about either of these funds to community.matters@dia.govt.nz 

Is there an office in Dunedin?

There is a Community Operations team based in Dunedin, with community advisors who work with rural, marae and urban communities from the Waitaki River in the north, Queenstown Lakes, Central and Coastal Otago including Clutha District.

The Dunedin team works closely with the Community Operations team in Invercargill.
