Funding boost for local events

Councillor Column
Jul 11 2019

Events have an important role to play in bringing people together. Not only do they foster a sense of pride in our community, events attract people from outside the area to experience what our wonderful City has to offer.

In addition to a packed program of City-run events, our Council is keen to support local groups and businesses to run their own events that reflect the unique identity of our community. Local organisations are invited to apply for a share $118k in funding across two categories: the Community Events Grant and Major Town Centre Event Grant.

It could be a street market, family fun day, multicultural concert, or festival—if you have an idea for an event that will bring the community together in a positive way, I encourage you to apply. To find out if your group is eligible and download an application form, visit the City's website. Applications are open until 31 July 2019.
