Events will need to comply with the City of Stirling’s Event Application process, local laws

process. Applications for events need to be submitted a minimum of 8 weeks prior to the
commencement of an event regardless of whether grant outcomes have been advised.
Applicants will need to consider whether they can complete all relevant applications prior
to applying for a grant. Generally, if event approval is not granted for a funded event the
applicant will be required to return the portion of funding related to the delivery of said
event.
