Sixteen community groups including schools, sporting associations, church groups, an aged care facility and service organisations have received grants for specific projects, directly benefiting residents of the Stroud area. A condition of the development consent for the Duralie Coal Mine required the payment to Council of monies for the development of 'community infrastructure' projects within the Stroud, Stroud Road and Wards River area.
