Council’s Event Grants program supports organisations and individuals to run events in our shire.

There are two rounds of grants each year that offer funding to selected local events. This includes music, art, sports, festivals and much more.

The program aims to provide support to events that:

• foster community, economic and/or cultural development across our shire
• consider impacts on the environment and surrounding community
• are accessible, inclusive and welcoming of everyone
• are safe and compliant.

Council is continuously working to improve its services and meet the needs of our community.

We are reviewing our Event Grants program to make sure it continues to be practical, helpful and work for as many local events as possible.

No, the current round of Event Grants will not be affected. Council will make an announcement before any changes to the program are made.

This means that there could be changes to the Event Grants program which may include structure, funding and policy.

No, Community Grants and Community Christmas Celebration Grants will continue to operate as usual.
