Do you have a great idea to celebrate Australia Day 2018?

Published on 13 September 2017

Are you a community group looking to host an Australia Day event or activity?

Rockhampton Regional Council has opened the Australia Day Community Events Grants program for 2018.

Rockhampton Region Mayor Margaret Strelow said the grants helped local community groups connect with others within their own area while celebrating our national day.

"The Australia Day Community Events Grants program encourages groups to host localised events and activities which connect, unite and enable people to celebrate Australia Day in the way that best fits their own communities,” Mayor Strelow said.

“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’d love to hear from you,” she said.

The Australia Day Community Events Grants Program is open to community groups and not-for-profit charity organisations.

More information is available in the application kits, which are available from Rockhampton Regional Council Customer Service phone 4932 9000 and online here. 

Applications close on Friday 3 November, with applicants notified by Wednesday 22 November.
