Lithgow City Council is calling for expressions of interest from event organisers seeking sponsorship support for new, unique, and engaging events to be held in the Lithgow Local Government Area.
Exciting new events are being sought that will assist in developing the Seven Valleys as a visitor destination and increase out-of-region visitation and overnight stays, while strengthening the region’s event calendar. Individual sponsorship opportunities of up to $40,000 may be available to successful proposals under the new sponsorship program.
Mayor of Lithgow Cassandra Coleman has praised the funding for new events saying, “This is an innovative and partnering approach to creating new events, there are a lot of great ideas from people interested in creating events in our area.”
The Mayor also said, “We want to encourage events that reflect the character of the Seven Valleys, especially its landscapes, communities, and culture, which can become part of the region’s social calendar, enticing visitors and potentially new residents to discover our unique part of the world.”
The events sponsorship program has been designed to assist in delivering the Council’s 2025 Events Plan, and it is just part of the Council’s approach to delivering events in both a financially responsible and innovative way.
Event organisers interested in the sponsorship program are encouraged to view the Expression of Interest information on the Councils website at: www.council.lithgow.com/event-sponsorship-eoi/.
Applications for event sponsorship under this program close on Monday 2 June 2025.
