Sponsorship proposal assessment
All sponsorship proposals are subject to assessment to determine relevance of the proposal to achieving outcomes for the City, value for money and any associated risks.
The City is responsible for spending public funds in the best interest of the community.
Being a past recipient of sponsorship funds does not guarantee success in seeking further sponsorship.
The criteria in the Sponsorship Policy apply to all sponsorship proposals, regardless of past involvement with the City.
The City may suggest an alternative proposal which reflects the value of the sponsorship to the City, as determined through this assessment process.
The City reserves the right to undertake reasonable checks of applicants at its discretion. These may include referee and/or financial/probity checks of the applicant and the organisation/s associated with the applicant.
Successful applicants will be required to sign the City’s Sponsorship Agreement and adhere to the negotiated conditions, including the provision of associated reports and acquittals.
