Grants & Funding

Funding opportunities can help businesses start, grow and invest in new ideas. Blackall-Tambo Regional Council shares information about available grants, funding programs and initiatives that may support local businesses and contribute to regional economic growth.

Funding opportunities are available from time to time through Council, Queensland Government and Australian Government programs. Eligibility, funding amounts and application requirements vary between programs, so businesses should review individual guidelines and requirements before applying.
