Events encourage visitors to the region and provide an enriching experience for residents. 
South West Events Program
South West Events Program
Each year, the South West Development Commission gives organisations staging events the opportunity to apply for funding via the South West Events Program.
Through the funding scheme, organisations can apply for grants of up to $4000 to cover event expenses, while grants of up to $2000 are available for professional event management.
Priority is given to events that attract visitors from outside the region or that demonstrate economic and community benefits.
To find out more about the South West Events Program or to ask to be notified when the next funding round opens, contact the South West Development Commission by phoning 9792 2000.
