On Friday 13 August the Tasmanian and Australian Governments announced a jointly funded $20 million Business Support Package.
This grant program will be targeted at businesses operating in the tourism, hospitality, arts and events, seafood and transport (hire car, coach tours) sectors, and other business that are impacted by the lockdowns and border restrictions that are in place in other states.
Grants of between $2 000 and $10 000 will be provided to successful applicants.
The support program will be available to businesses that have suffered a significant reduction in turnover as a direct result of lockdowns and border closures in other states, as a result of:
• A reduction in the number of visitors being able to travel to the Tasmania; and/or
• A reduction in the ability to provide, sell or import/export goods and services.
The grant program will open on Tuesday 17 August, and will close on Thursday 16 September 2021, 2:00 pm.
