The program was bolstered by an extra $90,0000 for a new Capacity and Resilience Grants round which is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than $480,000 was available across the four categories which also included the CBD Summer Event, Events, Community and Arts.

All event organisers will be responsible for, and will need to follow, State and Federal government guidelines in regard to COVID-19 procedures.
The city also encourages successful applicants to maximise access to, and use, local resources and suppliers.
