Be Involved

Bathurst Regional Council welcomes the opportunity to partner with us to help us deliver our major and community events.

With an exciting variety of engaging major events throughout the year, Bathurst Regional Council Events successfully reach a vast audience in both media coverage and attendance. Our events calendar includes a number of highly publicised sporting events as well as community events with celebratory and cultural themes throughout the year. We are looking to engage with suitable partners to help deliver high quality programming and unique experiences for our audiences.

With your support we can continue the sustainability of our events by further developing our event programs and maintaining a high-quality experience for our audiences.

As a partner you can benefit from a range of exclusive opportunities, maximise your brand exposure and show your commitment to the local community. Our team can help you achieve your marketing goals through tailored branded content, across a range of channels, from digital and social, to traditional print and radio ads and branded on-site signage and activations.

Opportunities range from in-kind arrangements to financial contributions at various levels to ensure your investment is strategically placed, and we are more than happy to work with you to customise a package to suit your goals.
