Mayors want to develop a relationship and share ideas. Charlie Moore agreed to work with Mayors to further this suggestion. CEG have some new initiative funding for Closing The Gaps programmes, community employment organisations and artworks. Community employment organisations are organisations, which are growing opportunities to generate income and employ people. Wage subsidies for the programme will be more flexible.
Artworks is grant funding targeted to arts related programmes.
At the moment funding is not allocated on a regional basis, but this may change.
