Mayor Jenny Whitney said Council is once again very pleased to support this iconic event which
each year draws thousands of people to the Whitsunday region.

“Council will give $5,000 by way of sponsorship for Airlie Beach Race Week in addition to waiving associated fees and charges,” Mayor Whitney said.

“Council will also work with the Airlie Beach Race Week Committee to provide in-kind support to
the value of $5,000 forming a Bronze Partnership,” she said.

“This event injects millions of dollars into our region through accommodation, meals, tours and
other purchases as well as showcasing the Whitsundays at a beautiful time of year,”

“The Whitsunday Sailing Club is hosting this year’s event and will also be promoting a range of
land based activities across eight different Airlie Beach venues as part of the race week calendar.”
