Applications open on 15 August
You can read every question now. Nothing can be submitted until the 15th, but coming prepared makes a real difference to a form this long.
Six sections, about 45 to 60 minutes. You do not need to be technical, and you do not need to know how it would be built. Focus on the problem you are trying to solve.
Tell us who you are
Basic details about your organisation and the person we would talk to. None of this is scored, so answer quickly and move on.
Registered charity, incorporated society, charitable trust, community group, not-for-profit.
If you have one.
Town or area within the Queenstown Lakes district.
Paid staff and regular volunteers. This helps us understand capacity, not to rule you out.
