Our Event Grants program provides financial assistance to event organisers to ensure all residents and visitors have access to a range of recreational, social and cultural activities. The funding program supports events held in Indigo Shire to be a celebration of place and foster town vibrancy and to be inclusive, accessible and open to local community members and visitors alike.
Indigo Shire Council is committed to working in partnership with local clubs, community groups, committees, service providers and businesses to deliver place-based events that consider:
Volunteerism and opportunities for participation
Economic yield
Township vibrancy – celebration of place
Building place profile
Creativity and innovation
Resilience through connectivity
Inclusion and accessibility
Environmental sustainability
Our Event Grants Panel assesses all applications before providing funding recommendations to Council.
