Rebates can include but are not limited to live music, artist in residence, face painting, creative workshops, poetry or author reading sessions, and performance artists
Opportunity for local businesses
Bass Coast Shire Mayor, Cr Michael Whelan said the program presents a wonderful opportunity for the local business community to show support for the local arts community, which has also been hit really hard by the pandemic.
"Applications for the rebates will open on Monday, 10 January and will be accepted until the $50,000 in available funding is exhausted or until Thursday, 30 June, whichever comes first," Cr Whelan said.
"These rebates are being provided as part of the State Government's COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund and they are open to all Bass Coast businesses, including hospitality, health and fitness, retail and hair and beauty.
