Overview

Under the Securing the Future of Our Agricultural Shows, the Tasmanian Government has extended the successful Agricultural Show Development Grants Program (the Program) for a further two years (2022-23 and 2023-24) so that agricultural shows can continue to bring together regional communities for many more decades to come.

This builds on funding of more than $2 million since 2018 in supporting these important community events.
