Small Communities with High Visitor Numbers
Water/Sewerage Infrastructure Funding
Last updated:
September 2008
In 2004, the Ministry of Tourism allocated $11 million over three years (2004-2007) for a Tourism Demand Subsidy Scheme (TDSS) to assist small communities with high tourism flows to invest in water and sewerage infrastructure.
Funding for the TDSS was approved in recognition of the pressure that rapid tourism growth can place on small communities with low rating bases. Per capita costs to provide quality infrastructure are much higher in small communities than in larger cities.
Successful applicants were announced by the Minister of Tourism, the Hon Damien O'Connor, on 13 April 2006. View the Minister’s press releases of 13 April 2006 and 12 January 2006 announcing the recipients of TDSS funding.
