Sponsorship

The Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) supports events and activities through sponsorship. We see sponsorship as a potential opportunity to increase community awareness of government messages and policies, and to communicate departmental strategies and initiatives.

DPCD receives numerous requests for sponsorship each year. Unfortunately, not all requests can be funded and priority will be given to proposals that meet general sponsorship criteria.

General Sponsorship Criteria

• The event organiser must be an incorporated company and have values, activities, products and purposes consistent with those of DPCD
• Sponsorship activities should support the achievement of DPCD goals and objectives and be aligned with key themes and priorities
• The event must provide good promotional and media opportunities for the department
• The event must be targeted to one or more of the department’s key audiences
• Public liability insurance, and any other insurance category appropriate to the activities of the proposed project, must be confirmed (with the provision of a certificate of currency from your insurer) prior to the completion of a Sponsorship Agreement
  

DPCD Values

• We collaborate and build partnerships
• We focus on sustainable social and economic outcomes
• We deliver results that make a difference

DPCD Strategic Directions

• Better access to housing, infrastructure, jobs and services
• Increased opportunities for participation
• Excellent organisational performance

How to apply for sponsorship

Please read and complete the DPCD sponsorship application form (Word 1.1 MB) for your request to be considered. Supporting documents may also be attached.
