Seeking Applications for the Event Partnership Funding
Have you got a brilliant idea for an exciting new event for the Moree Plains? Council would love to hear about it!
Building on the incredible success of last year’s inaugural Event Partnership Program which saw the delivery of events such as Run the Plains and the Young Aggies Future Focus Forum, Council is pleased to announce that the 2025 Program is open for applications, with a total of $20,000 available.
This initiative is an action of the Moree Plains Economic Development Strategy and is designed to boost the liveability and visitation of the shire, inspiring, engaging and uniting our communities through local events.
“The Event Partnership Program aims to promote positive economic activity and contribute to the overall growth of our Shire. It’s about bringing the community together and making a lasting impact that benefits everyone. If you have an inspiring idea for an event, I highly encourage you to apply and turn your vision into reality,” encourages Mayor, Cr Susannah Pearse.
The Event Partnership Program is designed to support and expand a range of local events. Local event organisers can apply for a one-off maximum payment of up to $10,000. Council has allocated $20,000 toward this program to help foster and promote local events in the region.
If you're interested in applying for the event funding program, make sure to review the program guidelines and submit your application before the deadline on Sunday 27 April 2025 at 11:59pm.

Recently, the Moree Regional Airport (YMOR) reached a significant milestone following its apron upgrades. It successfully facilitated the arrival of two large aircraft—the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Hercules C130J-30 and the Qantas Q400 passenger service.
