COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the Perth community and at its meeting held on 28 July 2020, the Council approved a range of initiatives to help local businesses and residential communities rebound successfully. The City’s COVID-19 Grants and Sponsorship Program has been developed to ensure Perth is positioned to rebound quickly and to support the future wellbeing and prosperity of our city.
The objectives of the COVID-19 Grants and Sponsorship Program are to:
- support local businesses to recover, rebound and prosper;
- drive local visitation and tourism into the city in ways that are safe;
- enhance vibrancy and activation in the city, ensuring there is ‘always something on in the city’; and
- support community wellbeing, safety and security and increase community connection and social cohesion.
