Council supports young people residing in our municipality that have been selected to participate or compete in an event of local, National or International significance.

Before confirmation of our support, Council require a letter of request from the individual/group and with confirmation from the sporting/representative association of the young person’s placement in the team/competition.

The minimum criteria that will apply to any consideration of a donation is as follows:

• must be an amateur event;
• the applicant must reside within the West Tamar municipal area;
• the applicant must be required by their organisation to meet a substantial amount of the expense;
• sponsorship received from outside organisations will be taken into account; and
• that council sponsorship funds are available.

The amount of the maximum donation to apply is as follows:

• to participate intrastate – $200/individual;
• to participate nationally – $500/individual
• to participate outside Australia – $1000/individual;
• representative groups/schools – $1000 per group.

Successful recipients will also be automatically nominated for the Young Citizen/Young Sportsperson of the Year award, held during the annual Australia Day Presentations.

If individuals are selected on more than one occasion to represent their region, Council will consider financially supporting individuals on multiple occasions during each financial year.
