Regional Community Events Grants Round 2 Open

Published on 10 December 2025

Hindmarsh Shire Council has allocated $30,000 in the 2025/2026 budget to provide funding for Regional Community Events within Hindmarsh Shire. Round 2 of this grant program is now open, and we encourage event organisers to review the guidelines and consider an application.

The aim of the funding is to support the establishment and growth of community events which celebrate culture, heritage and community wellbeing, boost the economy, and increase visitation to Hindmarsh Shire.

Grant recipients can apply for funding of up to $7,500 (made up of cash and in-kind determined by Council) for their event if they meet the eligibility and selection criteria.

Grant guidelines and an online application form can be found on Hindmarsh Shire Council’s website at www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au/apply-for-grants. Applications will be accepted between 8 December 2025 and 5:00pm on Friday 13 February 2026.

For further information, please contact the Economic Development and Tourism team on (03) 5391 4444 or email business@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au.
