The NSW Government funding package helps forestry, horticulture and agriculture industries impacted by the recent bushfires to rebuild, recover, regrow and remain the heartbeat of regional economies. The package comprises two funding streams, Supply Chain Support Grants (Stream 1) offering immediate to short-term help for producers and businesses, and Sector Development Grants (Stream 2).

Register for the webinar here.

This webinar will provide information on the progress of Stream 1 applications and we will provide guidance on Stream 2 applications, particularly on completing the Data Sheets that must accompany your application. Stream 2 projects must have a medium to long-term focus on industry job creation and retention via projects that will build industry sustainability, increase value-add production, support supply-chain efficiencies, product diversification and market expansion. You may ask questions about the Stream 2 application process during the webinar or use the link below to send questions before the event. A video tutorial on how to complete applications will be available shortly.

Program Guidelines including assessment criteria and eligibility requirements are available here.
