City of Darwin is proud to support our community by providing a range of in-kind equipment, facilities, services, and programs for eligible community groups and organisations across the Darwin municipality.

In-kind support refers to an arrangement whereby City of Darwin forgoes revenue for goods or services for which they would normally charge a fee. Examples of in-kind support that may be considered include, but are not limited to:

• provision of waste and recycling bins
• City of Darwin venue hire
• City of Darwin banner site hire
• event equipment hire (not installation/operation)
• City of Darwin services
• permits, for example, events, parking, signs, street food vendor, works permits
• marketing/promotion

The applicant must:

• be a non-profit group or non-profit organisation, or an organisation that is delivering a charitable or community event.
• not interrupt or adversely impact the City of Darwin operations and provision of business-as-usual services.
• demonstrate that the activity or event will not occur without in-kind support.
• demonstrate its activity and outcomes are in line with the strategic directions of City of Darwin’s 2030 Strategic Plan.
• provide greater social, environmental, and/or economic benefits to the Darwin community as a result of in-kind support provided.

Community groups/organisations will, where appropriate:

• acknowledge the City of Darwin’s support in relevant public forums, speeches, or openings, or in promotional or program material for the activity or event for which the in-kind support has been received.
• collect and return equipment to the City of Darwin in good order and condition.
• provide evidence of current public liability insurance ($20 million).
