(a)        REP funding is not issued in ‘rounds’ –event holders can apply for funding at any time of the year.
(b)       Not applicable.
(c)        The other Tourism WA funding sources are the Regional Events Scheme for smaller events and the Major Events for larger events. However, as International Women’s World Hot Air Ballooning Championships has secured REP funding, it would not be considered for additional funding from these sources.
