If you are part of a community group and you have a great idea to celebrate Australia Day, then Rockhampton Regional Council may be able to help you get it off the ground.
Rockhampton Regional Council is calling for applications for the Australia Day Community Events Grants for 2024.
Australia Day Community Events Grants are available to community groups and not-for-profit charity organisations within the Rockhampton Region.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said that the fund is designed to help local community groups establish and run events in their own areas to celebrate our national day.
“This is a great way for Council to help groups host local events and activities which connect, unite and enable people to celebrate Australia Day in the way that best fits their own communities,” he said.
Communities and Heritage Councillor Drew Wickerson said he encouraged local groups to put their ideas forward and apply via the Rockhampton Council website.
“Whether it’s a family fun day, a sausage sizzle, a concert in a local park or any other way of celebrating our national day, we want to see those initiatives put forward through the grant process,” he said.
