Do you have a great idea to celebrate Australia Day in 2023?

If you are part of a community group and you have a great idea to celebrate Australia Day, then Rockhampton Regional Council may be able to help you get it off the ground.

Applications are now open for Council’s Australia Day Community Events Grants program for 2023.

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

Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said that the fund is designed to help local community groups establish and run events in their own areas to celebrate Australia Day.

"This is a great way for Council to help groups host local events and activities which connect, unite and enable people to celebrate Australia Day in the way that best fits their own communities,” he 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,” he said.
