Community Events Fund

The Community Events Fund supports community organisations to deliver one-off, small-scale local events and larger-scale regional events for our community and visitors.

The fund supports events that:

  • celebrate community and Logan’s unique culture and identity
  • are engaging, creative and entertaining
  • contribute to a balanced calendar of events in Logan and diverse interests
  • bring people together to strengthen neighbourly connections and community spirit
  • collaborate with local groups and businesses, contributing to economic growth and local opportunities
