Regional Event Assistance Program (REAP)

Applications are now open for the Regional Event Assistance Program (REAP), which offers grants of up to $5,000 to regional events and festivals being held in Tasmania in 2009.

The Regional Event Assistance Program (REAP) is a partnership between Events Tasmania, the Cradle Coast Authority, Northern Tasmania Development and Totally South Tourism. The program aims to contribute to the growth of the Tasmanian tourism industry.

Regional festivals and events wishing to apply for to REAP must propose a project that will increase the sustainability of the event, attract visitors to the region, and provide regional tourism benefits. 

Regional Tourism Authorities are the contacts for event organisers seeking advice on their application to the program, and they can also advise prospective applicants on whether they are eligible to apply.
