Additional Grant and Funding Schemes:
TICT Emissions Reduction Initiative
Through the support of the Tasmanian Government, the TICT is supporting tourism businesses in reducing their emissions by matching eligible tourism operators with one of two programs over 2023 and 2024.
Touring grants of up to $20,000 are available to eligible organisers of auto, motorbike, cycle or walking tours in Tasmania during the winter and shoulder season. Funding is based on the number of interstate or international participants staying in paid commercial accommodation for five nights or more, with 40 percent or more of the tour being held in regional areas.
No Interest Micro-Business Loan Scheme
The scheme provides small, interest-free loans of up to $3,000 to people on low incomes who want to start or grow their own businesses.
Small Business Advice and Financial Guidance Program Round 3
Successful applicants will receive a grant of between $1,000 and $1,500 to obtain financial or business guidance services from a suitably qualified specialist/consultant.
The Scheme will provide no-interest loans of between $500 and $10,000 over three years to eligible households, residential landlords, small businesses and community organisations to fund investment in energy-efficient products.
Most local councils offer their own grant programs. Check your local council website for further information.
