Deadline: 30-Jun-23
The City of Gold Coast is accepting applications for Community Event Grants Program (including annual community events), a divisionally based program that allocates funding each financial year to support community organisations to deliver divisional/local events that are open to the public and are in the public interest.
Where a city-wide focussed event is conducted at the Broadwater Parklands it is unlikely to be supported by a Community Event Grant from Division 6 funds. These funds are designed for small and medium-sized community-based events, conducted in Division 6 (Southport, Benowa, Bundall, Chirn Park and Ashmore), that are targeted towards people in the local area.
