I am advised:
(a) Tourism Western Australia is sponsoring the Cabin Fever event through the Regional Events Program and the increased funding is: (i) $125,000 in 2023; and (ii) $125,000 in 2024.
(b) Tourism Western Australia previously sponsored the event through the Regional Events Scheme: 2018 - $10,000; 2019 - $15,000; 2020 - $15,000 – however, as the event was cancelled due to COVID-19, the funding was carried over to the 2021 event – so total funding in 2021 was $30,000; and 2022 - $20,000.
