Grant Description
Kiama Council’s Destination Event Funding Program provides financial support of up to $20,000 for eligible destination and major events that attract visitors to the Kiama Local Government Area in shoulder and off-peak periods, with a total annual allocation of $130,000. The program is designed for event organisers delivering exceptional, visitor-focused experiences that draw intrastate and interstate attendees, encourage overnight stays, and generate measurable benefits for Kiama’s local visitor economy. It specifically targets events that showcase Kiama’s unique coastal identity and community values, strengthen the region’s reputation as a premier event destination, and demonstrate strong governance, partnerships, and long-term sustainability in line with Council’s strategic goal of building a thriving, year-round visitor economy.
