Draft Events Sponsorship Policy on Public Exhibition

8 December 2023

Hawkesbury City Council is inviting community members to view and comment on its Draft Events Sponsorship Policy, which is on public exhibition at yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au up to close of business on Friday, 12 January 2024.

A hard copy of the Draft Policy can also be viewed during the exhibition period at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor from 9am to 4pm.

Council is currently reviewing its Events Sponsorship Policy, which helps guide sponsorship of Council activities and programs.

The Draft Policy outlines the principles of sponsorship provided by Council to community groups, not-for-profit organisations and private organisations. It establishes a transparent framework for the provision of monetary and in-kind sponsorship by Council for external programs in accordance with the Event Sponsorship Program. It also establishes a transparent approach to the way Council sources and manages sponsorship of Council programs and events to provide a greater benefit to the local community based on a clear set of objectives and criteria in the Commercial Assessment Criteria Matrix and the Community Assessment Criteria Matrix.

Council will receive online submissions via www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146, WINDSOR NSW 2756, or email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to close of business on Friday, 12 January 2024.

All submissions will be considered and may be included in a Council meeting business paper. Your submission, and any personal information, is accessible by any person upon written application, subject to Council’s Privacy Management Plan and the Government Information (Public Access) Act, 2009. The inclusion of personal information in your submission is voluntary, however, if not provided, may affect consideration of the submission. The information will ultimately be stored in Council’s records system.

For any enquiries regarding this matter, contact Suzanne Stuart, Manager Corporate Communications and Events on 4560 4444 or attention email enquiries to council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au with reference to the Draft Events Sponsorship Policy.
