Enabling Tourism Fund

Program overview

The Enabling Tourism Fund 2024 is investing up to $8 million to support regional and rural Victorian tourism infrastructure projects to reach investment-ready status.

Successful applicants will be supported via grants to deliver planning activities such as feasibility studies, master planning and design.

The fund will focus on the 5 product priorities identified in Experience Victoria 2033:

• First Peoples-led experiences
• wellness
• arts and culture
• food and drink
• nature.

It will be delivered via 2 grant streams:

• Stream 1 - Testing the concept: between $20,000 and $500,000 (excl. GST) for a project to test the concept of a new infrastructure project, such as a feasibility study, master plan or business case.
• Stream 2 - Preparing for investment: between $20,000 and $500,000 (excl. GST) to prepare a combination of materials to ensure that a project is ready for infrastructure investment. These could include a detailed design package, funding strategy, or stakeholder and community engagement plans.
