The Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery (RTBR) Grants program is a $10 million program which has been drawn from the Bushfire Recovery Fund. The program is part of the Government’s $76 million tourism recovery package to protect jobs, small businesses and local economies by helping get tourists travelling into bushfire affected regions.

The program has two funding streams which, together, will support events, concerts, festivals and visitor attractions in fire affected regions to assist with recovery efforts and encourage international and domestic visitors to come back to the regions.

Stream 2 - Will support larger events (including the promotion of those events), concerts, festivals and/or other visitor attractions such as art installations and tourist walks. Applicants are advised to make their proposals scalable as they may not receive the full funding amount they are seeking. Applications will be assessed when this stream closes.

Applicants are Local Government Authorities and Regional Tourism Organisations operating in Local Government Areas activated by state or territory governments for DRFA assistance during the 2019-20 fire season and which are declared Category D.

The eligible entities for this stream are listed in Annexure B of the guidelines.

$7,500,000.00

Eligible applicants have been sent an invitation letter and a link to the application form via email.
