Event Funding

Event Funding

Events Queensland secures and invests in events that deliver economic and social returns for all Queenslanders. Our diverse portfolio ranges from major, world-class events through to community-based, regional events.

No matter the size or location of our events, our focus is clear - to secure and invest in one-off and recurring events that are viable, financially sound and have the potential to help drive Queensland's economy. Our events attract commercial investment, secure sponsorship, raise our state's profile and encourage strong participation. They can mean millions of dollars in tourism and business benefits to our state.

At Events Queensland, the support we offer goes beyond funds. The strategic partnerships we help broker can lead to the long-term success and growth of events. And because we believe that strong partnerships go both ways, the events we support commit to meet our high targets. Key performance indicators are part of every contract.

MAJOR EVENTS

Events Queensland's strong portfolio of major events showcases a wide range of sports, industries and cultural disciplines. They are all viable and financially sound, and have the potential to attract commercial investment, sponsorship, publicity and profile for Queensland and its destinations, along with strong participation.

The decision to invest in a major event is based on a strong business case. The focus is on ensuring that all Queenslanders benefit from the social and economic return on investment.
