The Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) is looking for projects across regional Queensland to provide with grants of up to $250,000.

The purpose of these grants is to bolster primary production-related economic development in regional and remote areas of Queensland. Projects must be ready to begin (‘shovel ready’), and must have the potential to provide economic benefit to areas of rural and regional Queensland within its first twelve months.

Interested applicants are encouraged to read the grant guidelines before completing the expression of interest form. Round one of funding closes on 26 October 2018, with additional rounds of funding to be announced over a three-year period ending 2021.

For more information on the grants, as well as how to apply, please visit the QRIDA website.
