"Local authority may allocate funds out of the budget for discretional use by councillors. These funds are called ‘councillor discretionary funds’. Councillors may use their discretionary funds in any of the following ways: to spend on a community purpose, to allocate for capital works that are for a community purpose, to allocate to a community organisation.
Where a councillor wants to allocate some of their discretionary funds to a community organisation, the councillor must do so in accordance with the requirements of the discretionary funds notice and the local authority's community grants policy."
