Funding available for events and festivals to boost tourism

Published on 13 September 2019

Would you like a share of $100,000 to run an event or festival that will attract visitors to the shire?

Council has been given one-off funding of $100,000 from the Victorian Regional Events Fund (REF) for the delivery of events and festivals which drive visitation from outside the shire.

The successful recipient/s must deliver their event between January 2020 and December 2020.

There is a two-step process to apply. Firstly, through submitting an expression of interest (EOI). If your expression of interest is accepted, you can proceed to the application stage. Applications must be submitted to Council by 1 November 2019.

Please note applicants must discuss their EOI with Council’s Economic Development and Tourism team before submitting an application.
