The council is committed to supporting events that enable community groups to provide opportunities for participation, social connection, and celebration for smaller community events up to approximately 500 people.
A “Community Event” is an event managed and delivered by a local not-for-profit group or organisation for the purpose of education, fundraising, social, fun and entertainment value, civic and ceremonial events with the primary purpose of attracting the local community but may also attract patrons from outside the region.
A Community Event is considered an event of up to approximately 500 people.
A community event can be:
- a localised celebration for under 100 people
- an event open to all NGSC residents and visitors for over 100 people
Funding available will be depended on the type of event:
- a local celebration can receive up to $1500
- a larger community event can receive up to $3000
These events are generally run by volunteers.
