Community Events Grant

Council's Community and Economic Development Team and the Community Development Committee determine community investments under the Community Funding Investment Policy and Council's strategic framework. Funding for Strategic Partnerships, Community Services and Programmes and Community Events are covered by these.

The Community Events Grant is to acknowledge grass roots community events and support the vibrancy of the district. The grant is also to support the establishment of future annual events with the aim of becoming a major attraction of the district.

Please note that if you are successful with this funding application you will not be eligible to apply for any other grants within the Community Funding Investment Policy.

Process

Upon submitting your application the Community and Economic Development Team will assess all applications for eligibility based on the criteria outlined in the policy and guidelines. If further information or clarification is required, a team member will contact you.
