Everything you need to know about applying - 24 February 2009
Organisations are invited to find out more about Royalties for Regions and how to apply for funding through the South West Regional Grants Scheme at upcoming information sessions.
During the meetings representatives from the South West Development Commission will give an overview of the $3.5 million in contestable funding available.
They will also be on hand to answer questions regarding the scheme, which was launched earlier this month by Regional Development Minister Brendon Grylls.

“Organisations have the opportunity to share in the contestable $3.5 million and we want to ensure everyone is on equal footing with regard to information,” he said.
