Tourism Event Grant Program
The Tourism Events Grant Program (TEGP) addresses key priorities of the Ballarat Events Strategy 2018–2028 to support and attract events which:
• Drive high levels of tourism visitation and yield throughout the year,
• Amplify Ballarat’s tourism destination brand, and
• Showcase and support Ballarat’s livability.
The TEGP aims to support a balanced calendar of events which provide exciting reasons to visit Ballarat and increase the vibrancy of the city and region for visitors and residents.
