The Regional Events Sponsorship Program provides funding to support eligible community organisations and businesses to deliver events that activate the Scenic Rim and generate benefits for local communities and businesses. The program is designed to support events that strengthen the region’s profile, contribute to the local economy and align with the character, culture and destination appeal of the Scenic Rim.
Applications should be submitted at least three to six months before the event date. Before applying, applicants are required to speak with the Coordinator Regional Events, who can explain the funding requirements and provide the application link following the initial discussion. Enquiries can be made during business hours on 07 5540 5111.
Before submitting an application, it is helpful to prepare a clear event concept, expected visitor outcomes, anticipated economic and community benefits, an outline of your marketing approach, a draft budget, and key event planning documents such as risk management, site planning and delivery timelines. Events that highlight the Scenic Rim’s natural assets, agricultural strengths, agritourism offerings and unique visitor appeal are particularly well aligned to the program objectives.
