Tourism Development Fund and Precinct Fund
13 Sep 2010
The Shoalhaven Tourism Board would like to invite you to a special meeting on Monday 13 September to discuss the creation of a Local Distinctive event or product/attraction.
We very much want to support local initiatives and have two grant funding opportunities:
Tourism Development Fund and Precinct Fund.
Together they offer up to $10,000 of funding or individually $5,000 each.
The projects could involve natural heritage assets or cultural/social attractions and activities. We would like to encourage multi stakeholder participation so that the project has the maximum benefit for the local community, tourism businesses and visitors. By working together you may be able to develop an innovative concept which can be shared by the community and voluntary Kangaroo Valley organisations, whilst promoting a unique feature of your environment or culture. Or it may contribute to an existing project.
The meeting will include:
- Presentation "the Value of our natural and cultural assets in creating Local Distinctiveness"
- Explanation of the budgets and the Terms of Reference for grant applications and criteria of judging
- Method of applying for grants
- Indication of other state and federal grants
- Open discussion - this will give you an opportunity to meet members of the Shoalhaven Tourism Board and to discuss ideas
It would be terrific if a number of your management committee and association's membership were able to attend this briefing session at 6:30 p.m. Monday 13 September at Jing Jo.
The Shoalhaven Tourism Board will be undertaking a number of these presentations around the Shoalhaven, the Kangaroo Valley meeting is the first and we very much look forward to your participation.
