Sponsorship program

Redland City Council’s sponsorship policy ensures consistency, equity and value in its sponsorship undertakings, streamlined as a transparent and open business transaction where, in exchange for Council’s financial or in-kind support, there are tangible and measurable commercial benefits for council.
Commercial benefits provided under the sponsorship arrangement may include using Council’s logo on signage, promotional material or advertising, display space and acknowledgements in speeches and media materials.
The sponsorship program is designed to support community activities focusing on one or more of Council’s strategic priorities. These priorities include: natural environment, community health and wellbeing and economic prosperity.
Council will only be involved in activities where it would not reasonably be seen to compromise public confidence. It will not support initiatives which compete or conflict with Council initiatives, individual or political parties or where the financial support would be used for sponsorship or grants to third parties.
Applications will be assessed in detail on alignment to Council’s priorities; value for money; track record of applicants; extent of other support for project and ethical behaviour and fair dealing. Qualified Sponsorship requests of $10,000 and under will be determined by an internal assessment committee; those over $10,001 must be approved by Council.
