A ‘Special Event’ is defined as an irregular or one-off event that has the ability to attract significant attendees from local, state and interstate areas. Events will deliver an inclusive experience, encouraging community participation, creativity and will build community spirit, foster pride and a sense of place. They will also deliver tourism and economic returns to the Launceston community, building our profile and reputation as a great place to live, visit and invest.
Funding available for any given financial year is allocated by Council decision. Funding will be available until the budget allocation has been exhausted within that given financial year.
Applicants who meet eligibility and assessment criteria are not guaranteed funding as we can receive more funding applications than we can support. The success of an application is determined by its merits against the assessment criteria below and in competition with other submissions.
