Community Gaming Grant Review
Premier Clark has recently responded to the Community Gaming Grant Review report with good news and bad news. The Government has made arts organizations, including the Harrison Festival, again eligible for gaming funding. This is the good news; however, it is only the first hurdle.
Given the amount of money that the Government announced they are putting back we are very worried about the level of funding that we might receive when we reapply. The amount of funding available for gaming grants is considerably less than was available in 2009.
So although we are encouraged by this announcement, we still have grave concerns about our future.
