The Regional Investment Fund (RIF) was established by the State Government to provide $75 million over four years to assist with the economic and social development of regional Western Australia or improve the access by regional communities to services. Funding is available through three financial assistance schemes. One of the schemes, the Regional Infrastructure Funding Program (RIFP), which is administered by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development, provides financial assistance for capital infrastructure projects which will assist in attracting investment and increasing jobs in regional areas or improving the access of regional communities to services. The majority of projects that have been funded through RIFP have a tourism component, provide tourism-related activities, or provide opportunities for tourism development. The RIF has funded tourism-related projects through two other schemes, the Western Australian Regional Initiatives Scheme (WARIS) and the Regional Development Scheme (RDS). These two schemes do not in the main fund projects that involve development of infrastructure, and can fund projects such as festivals and other events, feasibility studies and regional and local marketing programs. Nonetheless, there have been some occasions where the WARIS and RDS grants have contributed to tourism projects directly from which related infrastructure has been developed.
