NEW major events for Frankston are being sought.
Applications are open for Frankston Council’s destination event attraction program. Through the grant program, individuals or organisations staging local events can receive council funding and in-kind sponsorship.
Three tiers of funding are available. Applications for significant commercial events and major community events will be considered.
Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said he hopes the program will help Frankston attract tourists and visitors. “We are thrilled to offer the destination event attraction program for a second year. Frankston is a creative city, and we want to continue to build its reputation as an arts, culture, and tourism destination. The DEAP is a centrepiece to council’s program to rejuvenate our visitor economy and strengthen our positioning as a destination for major and seasonal events,” he said.
Applications opened on 10 March and close on 21 April.
