EVENT SAVER FUND FOR MAJOR EVENTS

The NSW Government has today introduced the Event Saver Fund For Major Events which the government hopes will boost confidence in the industry to plan and host events over these uncertain times.

‘The purpose of Event Saver is to provide financial support to organisers of Major Events scheduled to be held between Wednesday 15 December 2021 and Saturday 31 December 2022 where an event is cancelled or Significantly disrupted as a direct result of Public Health Orders (PHO).’

Major Events have been targeted for support due to the significant impact these events have on driving tourism as well as on the broader NSW economy.

Event Saver is one of several investments announced today by the NSW Government as part of its NSW COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan and is intended to boost event organiser confidence to allow for continued planning and staging of Major Events across NSW in the year ahead. Events scheduled from 30th of April 2022 must submit their EOI at least 90 days prior to the event date.

Event Saver is available to Eligible Applicants who are organising Eligible Events from Wednesday 15 December 2021 up to (and on) Saturday 31 December 2022.

Applicants are advised to read the NSW Event Saver Guidelines before starting an Expression of Interest.

Expressions of Interest and applications are open now and close on 30th of September 2022.

(Please note guidelines are current at the time of publication and may be subject to change.)
