OCM 25 MAY 2021 · ITEM 12.4 · NO RESOLUTION NUMBER
Events Sponsorship Application: NAIDOC Perth (Inc.): 2021 NAIDOC Week Perth Opening Ceremony and Signature Event ‘Marri Dyin’
Lost 4–5
Proposed to approve a reduced Event Sponsorship of $120,000 (ex GST) to NAIDOC Perth (Inc.) for the 2021 NAIDOC Week Perth opening ceremony and signature event, instead of the recommended $156,000.
What it changed. Amended primary motion cutting the NAIDOC Perth sponsorship from $156,000 to $120,000 and funding it from the 2020/21 budget.
Reasons given in the minutes. It is an exciting opportunity and activation for the City, however, the policy currently states that funding of this nature should be capped at 30% of the project cost and Council have been requested to fund approximately 75% for this project. A reduction to 30% of the project cost equates to approximately $65,000. The City has previously provided support of approximately $120,000. Therefore, in the interests of consistency and integrity, the lesser amount is proposed.
