Clarence and Richmond Valley not-for-profits organisations looking to expand their services
could find it easier to access support thanks to a new Nationals in NSW Government Business
Case and Strategy Development Fund, according to Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis.
“Community groups with great ideas too often to get overwhelmed by the hoops they have to
jump through before being entrusted with public funds,” Mr Gulaptis said.
“These steps are necessary to protect the interests of taxpayers, but they shouldn’t become an
insurmountable barrier for worthy community-strengthening ideas.”
The new program will support organisations as well as local councils to engage experts when
developing business cases for new project ideas.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the regions are bursting with
people full of ideas with the potential to create jobs, boost economies and attract investment.
“This fund is all about making great ideas and concepts a reality, providing regional
opportunities for economic development, jobs and tourism,” Mr Toole said.
“Any successful project starts with evidence-based planning, and this program will help
business cases stand out by outlining costs, community benefits and identifying any
challenges.”
Funding will be available under two streams with up to $19 million for regionally significant
economic and community development projects, and up to $5 million for business cases that
create opportunities for economic and community empowerment of Aboriginal people.

Strategy Development Fund, including program guidelines and eligibility criteria, go to
