Money allocated for event support
25 August 2017
Nearly $100,000 has been earmarked to support Waipa-based events over the coming year.
On Wednesday, Waipa District Council's District Promotion Fund committee sifted through 51 applications to allocate $94,500 for events. Successful applications range from the Waka Ama Sprint Nationals to the New Zealand Dog Agility Championships.
More than $230,000 in support was requested from the $100,000 available from the District Promotion Fund on an annual basis. The fund aims to promote Waipa as an attractive place to visit, live, work and invest in. It also supports events that promote and benefit the wellbeing of the district and its people.
