Grant: Rangelands Cell Fencing Program
Provider: Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
Closes: 17 November 2017

Contact Ph: 08 9780 6266

At a glance
The Western Australian and federal governments are offering up to $4.03 million (GST exclusive) in contestable grants for up to three groups of pastoralists to build cell fencing to protect livestock from wild dogs. Groups of landholders are invited to apply for grant funding by 17 November 2017.
5
Program overview
Wild dogs are estimated to cost Western Australia’s rangelands up to $25 million per year with direct costs through livestock losses, control measures and disease transmission. It is especially traumatic for farmers who are affected by drought. Producers and government are making a significant investment in resources, time and effort to control wild dogs, but the impact is continuing to escalate. Addressing wild dog impacts is key to the revitalisation of the livestock industry. The Western Australian Wild Dog Action Plan 2016-2021 recommended the co-funded development of cell fencing in strategic regions of Western Australia (WA). Cell fencing involves the construction of wild dog exclusion fencing around neighbouring properties, allowing for a concerted effort to remove wild dogs inside the fence. A total of $4.03 million is available for up to three demonstration cell fencing projects that cover multiple pastoral leases in WA. The funding comprises:
$2 million in contestable Royalties for Regions funds provided through the WA Wild Dog Action Plan
$2.03 million in Australian Government funding. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Agriculture and Food Division is calling for applications from eligible groups of pastoral lease holders in WA for funding to build wild dog exclusion (cell) fences. This funding will assist pastoralists to trial up to three cell fences in WA to demonstrate whether cell fencing can secure and revitalise small livestock enterprises and deliver a sustained benefit to industry and regional communities. The cell fencing grant program will encourage groups of landholders to construct and maintain cell fences and undertake wild dog control within the cell. The absence of wild dogs will enable pastoralists to re-establish profitable small stock enterprises.

Grant: Regional Events Scheme and Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme
Provider: Tourism WA
Closes: 12 December 2017
Website: http://www.tourism.wa.gov.au/events/Event-sponsorship/Pages/Regional-Events-Scheme.aspx
Contact Ph: 08 9262 1763
Email: [email protected]
Purpose
To assist with the development of events as tourist attractions within regional Western
Australia.
Overview
The funding available for RES will be $850,000. New to the 2018-19 RES will be the
inclusion of the Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme (RAES), an additional quarantined pool
of $150,000 that only events delivering an authentic Aboriginal experience through the
leadership and participation of Aboriginal people are eligible to apply for.
The RAES will support start-up and established regional events that showcase and
celebrate authentic Aboriginal activities and experiences through the leadership and
participation of Aboriginal people. The RAES aims to support events that address a range
of government and industry strategies that have been identified such as:
Creation of a compelling point of difference for Aboriginal tourism to attract international
visitors and the integration of Aboriginal tourism product within wider domestic tourism,
further reinforcing the Experience Extraordinary brand; and
Supporting the Aboriginal tourism industry in interfacing with government and maximising
involvement in government tourism programs.
Additionally, the RAES will contribute to other tourism pillars such as increasing visitation to
regional Western Australia and positioning Western Australia as a recognised events
destination.
RES aims to assist events that:
bring additional tourism income to regional communities by increasing visitor numbers
and expenditure in the host community (economic impact);
attract media coverage that will help to raise the profile of the region as a tourist
destination (media impact);
involve and inspire the local community (social benefits);
extend the length of the traditional tourist seasons and better utilise tourism facilities and
services during off-peak or shoulder periods; and
Improve the vibrancy and vitality of the State.
In addition to the above, it is advantageous if the event has a strong point of difference
and/or profiles the unique features of the town and/or region. In the 2017-18 RES round, 62
events were successful for funding.
9
Additional funding option:
Event holders who have a current sponsorship agreement with Tourism WA for RES
funding can apply for additional funding through the current round for a new initiative(s) for
the event currently receiving funding. Events applying for additional funding must:
Have a current sponsorship agreement with Tourism WA;
Ensure the additional funding request includes only new initiative(s) that will further
elevate/develop the event; and
Note the total sponsorship amount (including the current sponsorship agreement) cannot
exceed $50,000.
The additional funding request will be assessed in the same process as other RES funding
applications. Should funding be awarded, a variation to the current sponsorship agreement
will be drawn up and the proposed new initiative(s) will be set against new milestone(s). It is
recommended you discuss your application for additional funding with your Contract
Manager.
Key Information:
Total funding of up to $1,000,000 is available for the 2018-19 RES round with $150,000
quarantined for the RAES.
Events must be held between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.
The closing deadline for applications is 5pm WST on Tuesday, 12 December 2017.
The application process takes approximately 4 months for assessment, approvals and
announcement from the time the round closes.

Matana's focus is on improving the welfare and wellbeing of young people from severely

Providing programs primarily targeting school retention and increased education
achievement for students who are at risk of dropping out of school or who have already

Providing programs that target employment skills development, employment and career
pathways and transitions into employment.
Providing programs that target social and community connectedness, personal
significance and social and emotional outcomes.
Providing services in geographical areas across Australia where funding is difficult to
source.

Purpose
Under this grant program we are seeking to support Australian social enterprise change
makers who are finding new and innovative solutions to tackle the most pressing issues
within their local communities and who are now looking to build capacity to overcome the
challenges of taking their concept to scale.
Overview
We are looking to partner with organisations that have developed their proof of concept and
are now seeking ignitor funds to scale to the next stage of their development and
demonstrate impact and potentially “investor readiness”. This program could also apply to
entrepreneurs in established grassroots charities who are looking to scale the sustainability
of their model and diversify their funding sources.
The EFF will consider applications where it is clear that the objective of the social enterprise
is to make a transformational, tangible and measureable difference to the quality of life and
welfare of the individuals and communities involved. We want to work with leaders who are
aligned with our philosophy on depth and span.
This grant program is considered throughout the year at the discretion of the EFF Board.
We consider one-off or multi-year requests. Generally requests will be considered for grants
40
up to $50,000, with applications up to $100,000 considered in special cases. If you have
any questions please feel free to discuss with us through our Contact Us.
Applications for support may be made at any time throughout the year via our online
Expression of Interest form. We request that applicants complete each section of the form
as incomplete forms will not be considered. Please attach all relevant supporting
documents including evidence of your TCC and DGR1 status and your current business
plan. Forward cash flow projections are also helpful in improving our understanding of your
journey to sustainability. Once you have submitted your EOI, the EFF will contact you by
telephone within 21 working days to discuss it and, where relevant, arrange a meeting or
site visit. You may then be invited to provide more detailed information at the request of the
EFF. Or, you may be advised that your application will not proceed any further. All
applicants that progress beyond the initial EOI application stage will be notified of the
outcome of their application within seven working days of the relevant board meeting.
Limitations
Organisations may be working in any community sector/space at all, and the funding can be
used towards operational costs or specific project components to develop scale. However
when considering if you are eligible for this program please note you must meet the
following eligibility criteria:
The Ignitor Fund is open to organisations with annual revenue of less than $5,000,000
and who are Australian-based organisation with Item 1 DGR and TCC endorsement;

of comprehensive business planning and a high level of community engagement;

Grant: Regional Events Scheme and Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme
Provider: Tourism WA
Closes: 12 December 2017
Website: http://www.tourism.wa.gov.au/events/Event-sponsorship/Pages/Regional-
Events-Scheme.aspx
Contact Ph: 08 9262 1763
Email: [email protected]
Purpose
To assist with the development of events as tourist attractions within regional Western
Australia.
Overview
The funding available for RES will be $850,000. New to the 2018-19 RES will be the
inclusion of the Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme (RAES), an additional quarantined pool
of $150,000 that only events delivering an authentic Aboriginal experience through the
leadership and participation of Aboriginal people are eligible to apply for.
The RAES will support start-up and established regional events that showcase and
celebrate authentic Aboriginal activities and experiences through the leadership and
participation of Aboriginal people. The RAES aims to support events that address a range
of government and industry strategies that have been identified such as:
Creation of a compelling point of difference for Aboriginal tourism to attract international
visitors and the integration of Aboriginal tourism product within wider domestic tourism,
further reinforcing the Experience Extraordinary brand; and
Supporting the Aboriginal tourism industry in interfacing with government and maximising
involvement in government tourism programs.
Additionally, the RAES will contribute to other tourism pillars such as increasing visitation to
regional Western Australia and positioning Western Australia as a recognised events
destination.
RES aims to assist events that:
bring additional tourism income to regional communities by increasing visitor numbers
and expenditure in the host community (economic impact);
attract media coverage that will help to raise the profile of the region as a tourist
destination (media impact);
involve and inspire the local community (social benefits);
extend the length of the traditional tourist seasons and better utilise tourism facilities and
services during off-peak or shoulder periods; and
Improve the vibrancy and vitality of the State.
In addition to the above, it is advantageous if the event has a strong point of difference
and/or profiles the unique features of the town and/or region. In the 2017-18 RES round, 62
events were successful for funding.
54
Additional funding option:
Event holders who have a current sponsorship agreement with Tourism WA for RES
funding can apply for additional funding through the current round for a new initiative(s) for
the event currently receiving funding. Events applying for additional funding must:
Have a current sponsorship agreement with Tourism WA;
Ensure the additional funding request includes only new initiative(s) that will further
elevate/develop the event; and
Note the total sponsorship amount (including the current sponsorship agreement) cannot exceed $50,000.
The additional funding request will be assessed in the same process as other RES funding
applications. Should funding be awarded, a variation to the current sponsorship agreement
will be drawn up and the proposed new initiative(s) will be set against new milestone(s). It is
recommended you discuss your application for additional funding with your Contract
Manager.
Key Information:
Total funding of up to $1,000,000 is available for the 2018-19 RES round with $150,000
quarantined for the RAES.
Events must be held between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.
The closing deadline for applications is 5pm WST on Tuesday, 12 December 2017.
The application process takes approximately 4 months for assessment, approvals and
announcement from the time the round closes.

Grant: TRADEX Scheme
Provider: AusIndustry
Closes: ongoing
Website: http://www.business.gov.au/grants-and-assistance/import-
export/tradex/Pages/default.aspx
Contact Ph: 13 28 46
Email: [email protected]
The Tradex Scheme allows an importer to gain an up-front exemption from Customs duty
and GST on eligible imported goods that are intended for export. The goods may be
exported in the same condition as imported, subjected to a process or treatment after
importation, then exported or incorporated in other goods which are exported. Export may
be carried out by the importer or a third party.
Tradex provides an alternative to the Customs Drawback Scheme which requires an up-
front payment of Customs duty and GST and then the subsequent recovery of these taxes
when the goods have been exported. The Tradex Scheme can, therefore, provide a
significant cash flow benefit.
The goods must be exported within 12 months of importation, although approval can be
sought to extend this period.
