Before you start

Before completing this application form, please ensure you have read the Event Support Program Criteria.

Vibrant community events play a vital role in social connections, increasing visitations and economic development.  Through the annual Event Support Program, Mount Barker District Council provides assistance to community groups to deliver regional and local community events within the district. This grant round will offer regional events up to $10,000 and local community events up to $6,000 in financial support. In addition to the financial request, applicants are encouraged to forecast the in-kind support that will be requested from Council (i.e. event equipment, traffic signage, grounds preparation).
