Events investment programme

Application close 4.30pm Friday 17 May, 2024.

Arts, recreation, cultural heritage, events, festivals and sporting activities all contribute to making Porirua City a great place to live.  We support many of these events through our Events Investment Programme, either by providing financial assistance or some other contribution.

The aim of the Event Investment Programme is to:

  • Improve public perception and enjoyment of Porirua as a city and as host of events;
  • Support, encourage and help stage major events throughout the city; and
  • Promote and enhance the quality and variety of events hosted in Porirua.

Complete an application, making sure you follow the checklist and provide all the information we need on the Event Investment Programme Application Form 2024 (61KB pdf).
