Tourism Town Asset Program

Tourism Town Asset Program Round Four

The NT Government is providing $300,000 of grant funding to assist local governments to undertake projects that will improve the on-ground visitor experience in the NT.

The focus of this program is to enhance and improve main streets and infrastructure to benefit visitors. During the development of regional Destination Management Plans, feedback highlighted the need to prioritise and upgrade thoroughfares and central public facilities towards creating welcoming public spaces’ for visitors across the regions. Similar feedback was received in the development of the NT's Drive Tourism Strategy, which also highlighted the need for improved infrastructure to service the drive market.

One off funding of up to $100,000 (excluding GST) is available per council. Councils will be expected to provide a cash co-contribution. A combination of cash and in-kind contributions will also be considered.
