Australia Day Donation Program

MidCoast Council

Eligible community groups and organisations can apply for a one-off $500 donation to support free Australia Day activities in their local community

Funding can support a range of activities, including community breakfasts and barbecues, ceremonies, award presentations, cultural activities, entertainment and other community-focused events.

Local community groups play an important role in bringing people together and providing opportunities for people across the MidCoast to connect, participate and mark the day in ways that are meaningful to their community.

One event per location will be eligible for funding.

MidCoast Mayor, Cr Alan Tickle, encouraged eligible groups to apply.

“Australia Day activities are organised locally across the MidCoast and can take many different forms,” Cr Tickle said.

“This funding is about supporting community groups to create free, welcoming activities that bring people together and encourage participation within their local community.”
