Funding will assist Devonport local government area residents with expenses incurred whilst attending an activity e.g. travel, accommodation, entry fee and registration.

Up to $100 is available to support Devonport local government area residents who are performing, competing or presenting at national or international competitions, conferences or events (e.g. sport, arts, cultural, community, heritage, economic and environment).

Groups or teams attending the same event can apply for a group total of up to $250.

The program is open all year, dependent on budget availability.

Individuals who meet all of the following criteria:

• have been a permanent resident in the Devonport local government area for at least the preceding 12 months,
• Are representing the region by performing, competing or presenting at national or international competitions, conferences or events,
