Indigenous Programs, Grants and Funding

7 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 May 2014). What Indigenous programs, grants and funding were provided by each department or agency under the minister's portfolio for 2011 and in each case, were these funds recurrent, current, operational or capital expenditure?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing): I am advised of the following:

The South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) provided grants totaling $35,000 to Gulf Getaways (a non-Indigenous owned business) in 2011 for the development of a new tourism experience presented by local Indigenous people at Tickle Belly Hill outside of Quorn. Of this funding, $25,000 was a contribution towards the development of fixed infrastructure, and $10,000 was allocated towards marketing and promotion initiatives.

There was no further funding towards Indigenous programs or grants during 2011.
