Requests to vary a grant agreement
Once a grant has been approved you may seek to make changes to the legal entity, sponsored organisation (authorised sub-entity), or grant agreement details.
Details that may need updating include:
- contact details
- bank account details
- GST registration status
- incorporation status.
The purpose, quantity, amount or time for expenditure of the grant cannot be changed without written approval from the Community Benefit Funds Unit. There are some circumstances where a variation to the grant can be made, such as:
- extensions of time beyond the approved period to make a final claim, or to acquit the grant
- change of items in specified circumstances. Requests for a variation to approved items will only be processed if unforeseeable circumstances arise that would stop the purchase of items proceeding and provided any requested changes do not alter the approved purpose (original need for the grant).
A change request must be completed by the accountable officer and provided to the Community Benefit Funds Unit prior to the end of the twelve month agreement period. The change request will be processed and a written response will be provided to the accountable officer of the legal entity with the decision regarding the request.
All request to vary a grant agreement must be sent in writing to either: cbf@treasury.qld.gov.au or Locked Bag 180, City East QLD 4002.
