Eventcorp's Regional Events Scheme (RES) is designed to create awareness and increase the social and economic benefits to regional communities in WA by attracting increased visitor numbers through events.
The Scheme is designed to support established and new regional events that have the ability to:
- Attract large numbers of visitors;
- Achieve significant media attention;
- Develop a state and/or national profile for the event and the region.
It is not intended to fund small to medium regional events that don't have the capacity to develop into events of regional and state significance.
Next round application information coming soon - mid November.
For details of the new funding structure download the PDF below.

Special Events A Managed Approach (240KB) is a practical guide to event management prepared by Eventscorp that can help you organise your regional event. The manual was designed around a training workshop which includes videos, overheads and group interaction.
It is designed for use by all event organisers, regardless of their experience and expertise. It should be used as a general guide only and should not be solely relied upon for event management.
