Introducing
Smartygrants, Council’s
new online grant
application platform
All council's grant programs are moving
online. The new SmartyGrants platform will
ensure the City of Port Adelaide Enfield’s
grant programs continue to develop and
grow into the future whilst aiming to improve
the accessibility and ease for applicants
to complete both their application and
evaluation forms.
The user friendly online system allows you to
preview application forms and save, change,
and print your application before submitting.
The online application forms for each grant
will be made available when a funding round
opens. The SmartyGrants system utilises
email to keep applicants up to date as their
application is completed and progresses.
After recently moving the Heritage Incentive
Grants program to the online system, the
second phase is to move Council’s ongoing
funding rounds to the new process. Grant
programs affected by the change are
Individual Sponsorship, Youth Development,
Special Opportunity Arts Grant for
Individuals, Minor Community Development,
Minor Community Events and Junior Sporting
Club Grants.
This change will occur effective
1 July 2016. Events Grants will follow.

Post Office tenancy
Have you heard? Port Adelaide is the place to come if
you’re a creative entrepreneur with big ideas and lots of
passion but maybe limited funds to get started.
The old Post Office on St Vincent Street is the latest space
to be offered for tenancy by Renew Adelaide, on behalf of
the Council. The building was purchased by Council as part
of its plan to activate the historic precinct of laneways and
buildings between Nile Street, Commercial Road and
St Vincent Street.
The Post Office site in steeped in history dating back to the
Port’s earliest days. Before the building that stands today,
the Port’s morgue was situated on the site. It’s a unique
space with unlimited potential.
A vast ground level room with original jarrah floorboards
conjures all sorts of possibilities. Some say it’s an artistic
space, or a perfect bar or restaurant, or a space for cabaret.
Upstairs, large light rooms offer even more potential for
enterprising ideas to take shape.
The tenancy has attracted a lot of interest with dozens of
people attending the recent inspection.
The Post Office offering was also the subject of a great
feature story from Channel 7’s Ron Kandelaars about the
history and reactivation of Port Adelaide.
Expressions of interest for the Post Office have now closed.
