• National
  $200 per individual (capped at $600 per team to a maximum of four teams per events)

  $400 per individual (capped at $1,600 per team)

All requests are assessed against the City's Community Funding Policy.

and

• Have not yet attended the event,

• Applications must incorporate all eligible participants residing in the City of Wanneroo
• Selection letter/s inviting the individual or team to the event are required for all participants
• Participants are only eligible for funding once per financial year

• Any variation of approved funding must be communicated to the City, noting that the full approval amount may change if all/some participants registered end up not attending the event, or if the event is cancelled or postponed.
