Money for regional events
Outback rodeos, a wine festival, an Aboriginal gourmet experience and a cycling event are among nine events that for the first time will receive State Government support through Tourism WA’s 2015-16 Regional Events Scheme.
Tourism Minister Kim Hames said a total of 54 events across Western Australia would be sponsored through the scheme, funded by the State Government through Tourism WA and the Royalties for Regions program with a $750,000 funding pool will be distributed to regional events in 2015-16.
