Major Event Sponsorship Fund

Introduction

Events help a community to come alive. They provide the opportunity for a destination to showcase its tourism experience, increase economic growth and create a dynamic and vibrant place and build a loyal following and return visitors.

Events are well recognised as drivers of visitation and visitor spend and provide tourism, trade and investment opportunities for Port Stephens. Events can also be a driver of infrastructure development through increasing demand and provide an opportunity for Council to reinforce its brand, stimulate the economy and smooth seasonal fluctuations.

Program Description

The Major Event Sponsorship fund will both attract and support events that align with the vision and values of Port Stephens Council, our residents and businesses and create economic benefit.

The Major Events Sponsorship Fund will support well managed events that attract participants from outside the Port Stephens LGA, increase overnight visitor spend and smooth seasonal tourism fluctuations.

For more information on eligibility and assessment for this fund and for further information for all our grant and sponsorship funds please refer to our Community Funding Guidelines
