New events to receive grant funding include an all-ages Surf Coast Roller Disco in Freshwater Creek as well as a Seaside Community Celebration in Anglesea which is slated for the end of this year.<\/p>\n

A total of $51,500 awarded to 10 events in the Tourism sector, $25,000 was awarded to six Boutique, Creative and Special Focus applications, five Community applications were supported for a total of $8,000, while the Christmas Carols on the Surf Coast also received $2,500.<\/p>\n

Councillor Mike Bodsworth congratulated all winners and said he was pleased that such a diverse range of events had been awarded grants.<\/p>\n

“It’s always great to support the longevity of mass participation events which deliver significant benefits in our off-peak tourism season, such as Amy’s Gran Fondo, Great Ocean Road Running Festival and several endurance events which take in the Surf Coast Walk,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We’re also pleased to financially support new events on the Surf Coast Events calendar that connect our communities.<\/p>\n

The end-of-year Seaside Community Celebration in Anglesea and the all ages Surf Coast Roller Disco in Freshwater Creek and Torquay are terrific examples of this.”<\/p>\n
