The funding allocation for the 2026/27 Event Sponsorship Program has now been finalised, and applications are closed for the remainder of the financial year.

- Enhance the Renmark Paringa district as a desirable place to live, work and visit.
- Demonstrate financial sustainability and provide value to the community.

Temporary Pause on Other Community Funding Streams
As part of Renmark Paringa Council’s broader cost-saving measures for 2026/27, the following programs have been temporarily paused:
- Community Grants Program
- Youth Sponsorship Program
- Community Support Funding
These funding streams are currently undergoing a comprehensive review as part of Council’s efforts to align all programs with the newly adopted Community Plan 2024–2034. Subject to financial conditions, Council is aiming to reintroduce these programs in the future.
Council acknowledges the importance of these funding streams and the value they bring to our community. This pause has not been taken lightly and reflects the need to ensure programs are sustainable and continue to meet evolving community needs.
