Council allocates a small funding pool of $3,832 to subsidise hire costs of Council facilities for non-profit community events. This is part of the Council's Community Grants Fund, budgeted annually. The fund is designed to assist with one-off events and is not available for commercial activities. Applications are taken throughout the year, dependent on the remaining funds.
The maximum funding allocation per application is:
- $200 if the organisation is charging a door/cover charge.
- $400 if the organisation is not charging a door/cover charge.
Each organisation or individual can receive facility hire funding once per financial year. Applications must be submitted at least one whole week before the event.
