Tourism Town Asset Program

Tourism Town Asset Program Round Five
 

The NT Government is providing $300,000 of grant funding to assist local governments to undertake projects that will improve the on-ground visitor experience in the NT.

The focus of this program is to enhance and improve main streets in town centres or facilities that have a particular benefit for visitors. Local government councils are key stakeholders in the development and implementation of regional Destination Management Plans and the NT's Drive Tourism Strategy. The Tourism Town Asset grant program provides another avenue for councils to prioritise and assist upgrading and creating welcoming public spaces and improving public facilities for visitors across each region.
 

One off funding of up to $100,000 (excluding GST) is available per council. Councils will be expected to provide a cash co-contribution. A combination of cash and in-kind contributions will also be considered. View the Tourism Town Asset Program Round Five Guidelines
