Three South Burnett events have gained funding under a special State Government support package for events affected by floods earlier this year.
Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey today announced 17 successful applications from across Queensland for the Events Flood Assistance Program which will receive funding totalling $150,000.
“Events in flood-declared council areas that suffered or were cancelled as a result of the floods were eligible to apply,” she said.
Local events to receive EFAP funding were:
- Kilkivan ACA National Finals – September 4-7, Kilkivan
- Tom Quilty Gold Cup – June 7-9, Kilkivan
- Scots in the Bush – August 16-18, Boondooma
EFAP funding has only been made available to events which had to be cancelled due to flooding in January, and which will be rescheduled to the period between July 1 and September 29 this year.
