At Tuesday night’s Ordinary Council Meeting funding of $20,500 was awarded to 19 community groups to assist with different events being held in the Greater Shepparton community.
Greater Shepparton City Council aims to celebrate the local community and our diverse region through a range of major and community events each year. The various events supported by Council include sporting, cultural, commemorative, festive as well as annual community events.
The Event Grants program provides financial assistance as well as marketing support to groups who are organising events within the Greater Shepparton municipality.
The total amount of funding allocated to the Small and Large Events Program is $45,000 for the 2019/2020 financial year. This amount is split into two rounds.
Small Events can be funded from $500 up to $2,000 and Large Events can be funded from $2,000 up to $5,000.
The next round of Events Grants will open on Monday 2 December 2019 and close on Monday 10 February 2020. Visit our Events Grants page for more information.
