Alpine Shire Council Event Funding Program
Submissions for Alpine Shire Council's 2024-25 Event Funding Program round are now open!
All event organisers wanting to hold and event in the Alpine Shire between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025 are now encouraged to apply for funding. This includes events in Dinner Plain.
All applicants are strongly advised to read the Event Funding guidelines and ensure they meet all the eligibility criteria prior to submitting an application. Links to both the guidelines and application forms are below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any Council services required by events, including waste management and amenity cleans, permit fees, site fees and facility hire fees, will be on-charged to the event organiser. Council will not be providing any services as in-kind. Please consider how this may impact your event and ensure the budget in your application reflects this. Please contact the Events Team if you require any assistance with calculating these costs.
Please also note that the assessment criteria for Event Funding applications changed to align with Council's Events Strategy. Please ensure you are familiar with the funding criteria and permitting conditions for events held in the Alpine Shire.
Pleas refer to our Event Funding FAQ page for information about how to apply, steps to follow if successful and out-of-round funding.
