Important Information

The Mayor's Discretionary Events Funding is assistance which is available outside of the regular funding rounds.

Support can be requested for an amount up to $1200 to help with the cost of emergent needs to support community organisations with events, activities or spontaneous projects where there is an unexpected cost which may be a detriment to the event.

This fund is available throughout the year until funds have been expended.

Emergent Needs Funding will not be approved for applicants which have successfully received funding through Community Grants within the last grant cycle - for the same project or event.

Eligibility: To be eligible the applicant must meet the following criteria:

  • Be an incorporated group or organisation (or auspice by an incorporated party)
  • Event must be open to the public and family friendly
  • Activity or event does not support any contentious issues or topics
  • Participation or attendance is inclusive
  • Intended location within the region

Acknowledgment: As part of any funding agreement, Council requests acknowledgment of contribution in the following ways:

  1. Acknowledgement in media releases and promotional activities;
  2. Brand exposure at events or associated functions;
  3. Opportunities for Council to do onsite promotion during events
  4. Opportunities for Council participation in formal ceremonies
