Brisbane City Council aims to drive suburban economic vitality by supporting initiatives and activations that bring communities and consumers into local precincts.
The sponsorship program welcomes applications for events and activations that create lively and vibrant local business areas. Up to $10,000 may be available per application.
How does it work?
Consideration will be given to sponsorship applications that contribute to the delivery of one or more of the following:
- potential to generate additional foot traffic and potential customers for surrounding businesses
- potential to activate shopfronts through art, displays, exhibitions or pop-ups
- potential to bring activity and interest to suburban business areas through festivals, markets and events.

Have you heard of a fantastic organisation called Queensland Women's Historical Association (QWHA)? Don't be fooled by the name, they are a lively organisation composed of both male and female members, all deeply enthusiastic about preserving and promoting Queensland's heritage, now situated at Miegunyah House Museum in Bowen Hills.
Miegunyah first opened as a house museum in June 1968. The c.1886 Queenslander sitting quietly in its tranquil garden, is also home of the QWHA, the repository for its collection, and gracious venue for its regular program of historical talks, themed exhibitions, seminars and social events. Miegunyah is open to the public for tours and Devonshire teas. Miegunyah is also available for group visits, special interest groups, corporate and private functions. QWHA holds history related talks in the formal dining room.
To book a tour of Miegunyah or become a member of the QWHA I encourage you to visit their website for more information. www.miegunyah.org/index.php?location=Welcome ... See MoreSee Less
