Events Funding

In reply to Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (28 July 2021). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

In 2020-21, the funds were allocated to closing out the Adelaide 500 and to providing stimulus into the visitor economy market, including activities such as the Great State Vouchers.

In 2021-22, approximately $12 million of the $14 million has been allocated to events to be held in that financial year or in future financial years. This includes a mix of new and ongoing events, including $1 million allocated to boost investment in regional events and the Regional Events Fund.
