Major Local Community Events Grant

Open: 9am Monday 6 July

The Major Local Community Events Grants provide funding to support locally initiated events that significantly benefit Frankston City residents and build local capacity for participation in, celebratory, cultural and artistic activities.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic government restrictions, successful applicants will only be permitted to run their event if there are no applicable mass gathering restrictions in place, which would reasonably allow the event to occur. Discussions will be had between the events team and successful applicants to determine reasonable timeframes.
