Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority has recently announced the opening of Round 5 of the Rural Economic Development Grants. Expressions of Interest are open until 11.59pm 30 January 2023.

These grants allow primary production sectors to bolster rural communities by providing grants up to $200,000 with a co-contribution to be matched by applicants.

To be eligible the project must:

• Generate jobs, provide value for money and significant economic benefit to a rural area;
• Be related to primary production value chains.

If you have accessed this grant in the past, you are eligible to apply again, however the project to be funded must be significantly different to past applications made.
