Event Funding and Sponsorship

The Council supports events through dedicated event sponsorship programmes - find out more about these contestable funds in the links below.

Sustainable Events and Greening Your Event

A truly sustainable event is one in which carbon emissions are calculated and sustainability advisors are available to help. More information is available through the Ministry for the Environment which produced a Major Event Greening Guide and Greener Events Guide.

Regardless of how far you decide to go, you should still recycle and reduce your water use and promote a greener event with your team.

Here are some focus areas;

  • Energy
  • Water (amusement operators using water should arrange their own source)
  • Landfill Waste (how can you reduce this?)
  • Recycling & Composting (there are professionals that can arrange this)
  • Transport
  • Materials & Publications
  • Suppliers & Catering
  • Environmental Attitudes (have you promoted greening your event with your team?)

Road Closures or Temporary Traffic Management

Does your event need permission to temporarily close a road or part of a road? A temporary road closure is approval from the Council for a road to be closed to traffic and/or pedestrians at a specified location for a specified period.  It ensures that you can complete your work or hold your event to the standards prescribed by the Local Government Act 1974 and 2002 and/or Transport Regulations 1965. You must obtain consent for a temporary road closure:

  • If a road or part of a road needs to be closed for an event; or
  • If works need to be carried out on or under the road.
