Fees are calculated at the Community rate. (See Councils current Fees & Charges). Sponsorship Policy

How does it work?

When you apply for a sponsorship, Council seek details of how Council will be acknowledged for the provision of the sponsorship credit.

  • Hire of Council Facilities fees- halls, ovals, parks, foreshores & reserves;

  • Development application fees*;

  • Road closure fees;

What fees and charges can sponsorship NOT be used to pay for?

  • Bonds;

  • Statutory or legislative fees (development fees can be approved, all or part thereof, at the discretion of Council). Fee waiver for external referrals or agents will not be considered); or

  • Fines or expiations.

Making the Council acknowledgement

To receive sponsorship your organisation must detail how Council will be acknowledged as a sponsor.

Examples of sponsorships could include, but are not limited to:

  • Council acknowledged as key sponsor, meaning that our logo is on all promotional material outlining Councils sponsorship in relation to the event;

  • Council receive the ability to display / demonstrate at the event that is being held;

  • At location of development a sign is erected detailing Council’s sponsorship.

Please note: Mentions in thank you letters, whilst important and appreciated, are not acceptable forms of sponsorship.

Note:

Council will automatically sponsor the following events; therefore no application form is necessary:

  • Australia Day

  • Settlement Day
