Event funding available for organisers
Applications are now open for the annual District Promotion Fund which supports great events happening in the Waipa district.
Sponsorship funding is available annually for events that have a strong Waipa focus, or are likely to attract national or international markets.
Mayor Jim Mylchreest is keen to support events that benefit Waipa through the fund scheme.
Events held in Waipa encourage visitors to the district, better utilise the district's key sites and facilities, and encourage local residents to get out and enjoy activities close to home, he said.
Events which have previously been supported through the District Promotions Fund range from equine, water sports, public displays, cycle events, festivals and shows, to ball sports of all kinds. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that their event has the ability to promote the Waipa District as an attractive place to live, work, invest in or visit.
Application forms are now available from council offices or on the District Promotion Fund page. Applications close on Thursday 31 July.
For more information on the fund, contact Council on 0800 924 723.
