Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events Program

The NSW Government has made $25 million available for eligible regional NSW councils to deliver local community events.

The Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program promotes social and economic recovery of regional communities, by renewing social connections and providing a revenue-boost to local businesses, following the extended COVID-19 restrictions across regional NSW and impacts of border closures.

Activities eligible for funding through the Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program include existing or new:

  • community markets and bazaars
  • festivals and fairs
  • sporting events
  • food and leisure events
  • recovery events
  • community classes and workshops
  • agricultural field days (run by community organisations)
  • regional racing carnivals (e.g. horse or greyhound racing) run by community organisations
  • touring events and theatre programs
  • community public holiday celebrations (e.g. Australia Day or Anzac Day).

For existing events, applicants are encouraged to use this funding to make the events larger or more accessible.

Applications close at 5pm on 24 June 2022.
