Agricultural show grants now open

21/09/2022

Applications have now opened for the Agricultural and Pastoral Society grants program for 2022-23.

Societies that run shows, could receive up to $10,000 in grants to put towards planning events, new facilities, upgrading old facilities, staging-display areas and upgrading public amenities for multi-purpose community use.

Agriculture Victoria’s agriculture policy and programs executive director Sarah-Jane McCormack said, “the Victorian government continues to support Agricultural and Pastoral Societies to get back up and running this year.”

“In addition to the one-off support for free entry of children at shows, these grants are also available to make sure that showgrounds, facilities and events are in top shape making events enjoyable and safe for communities.

Applications close October 21.
