November 24th, 2021Tourism grants

The state government is backing compelling local tourism projects that will drive the recovery of regional tourism and grow jobs.
Labor Member for Western Victoria, Jaala Pulford, has welcomed the launch of the $100 million Regional Tourism Investment Fund, encouraging great projects to be put forward.
The Regional Tourism Investment Fund will support the creation of new experiences and attractions and the reimagining and revitalisation of existing favourites – focusing on nature, epicure, arts and culture, and First Peoples’ experiences.
The fund will deliver grants up to $10 million per project, with a minimum funding amount of $150,000 per project.
Applications are encouraged from private sector businesses, local and state government entities, incorporated associations, not-for-profit organisations, traditional owner corporations and Aboriginal organisations and groups.

Ms Pulford said this had been an incredibly challenging period for tourism businesses and that was why the government was “backing great projects that can elevate Victoria’s renowned and varied regional offerings”.
“The Regional Tourism Investment Fund stands to play a key role in bolstering local tourism appeal, attracting new visitors and supporting job growth.”
