Up to $100,000 available for signature events in the Perth Hills

Shire of Mundaring is investing in the future of local events, with up to $100,000 now available through a new Signature Event Funding stream as part of the Shire’s Arts Culture and Event Funding Program.

The funding will support larger-scale events that attract visitors, celebrate local culture and strengthen the Shire’s reputation as a vibrant and creative destination in the Perth Hills.

The program aims to support events that deliver long-term community, cultural and economic benefits while encouraging sustainability, accessibility and inclusiveness.

Shire President Paige McNeil said the funding reflected direct community feedback and the Shire’s commitment to building a thriving and connected community.

“Our community told us they wanted to see more events and experiences across the Shire, and this funding is about responding to that feedback and investing in opportunities that bring people together,” President McNeil said.

“Events play an important role in celebrating local culture, supporting local businesses and showcasing everything that makes the Perth Hills special.

“We want to see events that inspire people to explore the Shire, connect with our unique communities and experience the creativity, hospitality and natural beauty of the region.

“By investing in arts, culture and events, we are investing in community wellbeing, tourism and the long-term vibrancy of the Shire.”

The Arts Culture and Event Funding Program supports initiatives that align with the Shire’s vision for a connected, sustainable and liveable community. Funding can support events that activate local spaces, encourage participation across all demographics and create unique experiences for residents and visitors alike.

The program also encourages environmentally responsible event planning and aims to grow the Shire’s profile as a destination known for creativity, sustainability and community connection.

Applications are now open.

More information, including eligibility criteria and application details, is available on the Shire website.
