Regional Events Sponsorship Program
The Regional Events Sponsorship Program provides funding to support eligible community organisations and businesses to hold events that activate the Scenic Rim and generate benefits for our communities and businesses.
Council recognises the important contribution events make to the economy. Through the Regional Event Sponsorship Program, Council aims to support events that enhance the region’s profile, deliver economic outcomes, and align with the culture and character of the Scenic Rim. Events that showcase the natural assets of the Scenic Rim, the region’s agricultural sector and nature-based tourism and agritourism offerings will be highly regarded.
Event projects should contribute to one or more of the following outcomes:
- Increased recognition of Scenic Rim nationally and internationally
- Increased economic contribution (measured primarily through day trip and overnight visitation numbers and visitor spend)
- Capacity for businesses in the hospitality, retail, tourism and other event supporting sectors to benefit from and leverage event audiences
- Support the attraction of events to the region
- Foster the long-term sustainability of the small business sector
