Events and Festivals Grant Program
Events and festivals provide significant social and economic benefits for the shire. In recognition of the positive outcomes for the community and business, Council runs an annual Events and Festival Grant Program.
The program has three different tiers to enable all events and festivals to apply, depending on size, focus and complexity.
