Resort pool installations supported by NT visitor experience grants

Resort pool installations are among the infrastructure upgrades being supported by the Northern Territory’s Visitor Experience Enhancement Program (VEEP).

The Territory Government is supporting and promoting the NT tourism industry by investing another $3 million in improving visitor experience and amenity.

The VEEP program has supported the Dundee Beach Holiday Park, located approximately 59 kilometres southwest of Darwin, in completing a new ‘Tropical Resort Style Pool’, enhancing its offering to visitors.

The Darwin City Hotel has also been supported in the installation of 18 rooms with soundproof acoustic glass windows to reduce noise.

To date, $12.3 million has been invested in the Territory’s tourism offerings with the additional $3 million now available now for local businesses and tourism operators to boost their businesses.

From accessibility infrastructure upgrades to developing new visitor experiences and products, the Territory’s tourism industry can access funding support of up to $100,000 that will improve the on-ground experiences of tourists to the Territory and drive growth in the visitor economy.

The Government is investing $3 million in the eighth round of the program, with Round 7 seeing $2.9 million awarded to 49 local businesses.

Territory businesses can apply for funding of up to $100,000, with a matching cash contribution required for projects that will improve the on-ground experiences of visitors to the Territory.

The funding stimulates private investment and has flow-on benefits for other industry sectors, with all applicants required to adhere to the Buy Local Plan, as part of the NT Government’s commitment to supporting Territory enterprises.

Applications for VEEP Round 8 open 20th March and close on 7th May 2024.
