(1) The Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association is an independent not for profit association incorporated under the Associations Incorporations Act. Any questions regarding its financial position and caves revenues would need to be directed to the association.
(2) No recurrent or operating funding is provided by Tourism Western Australia to the Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association for its Visitor Centre operations. Special project grant funding may be provided to a visitor centre based on the merit of that project.
