Gold Coast Nature-Based Tourism Grants: 14 Recipients Share $500,000

Great news for tourism businesses on the Gold Coast: 14 successful recipients have been announced for Round 2 of the Nature-Based Tourism Small Grants Program, with an initial $500,000 shared among the recipients.

The program, delivered by the City of Gold Coast, aims to support businesses and organisations that are developing and promoting nature-based tourism experiences across the region. This funding represents a meaningful investment in our area's natural assets and the operators who bring them to life.

For local businesses in the Mudgeeraba hinterland and surrounding areas, this kind of grant program is well worth monitoring. Nature-based tourism is a growing sector, and future funding rounds could represent a valuable opportunity to develop new visitor experiences right here in our backyard.

If you're a business owner with ideas for nature-based visitor experiences, we encourage you to keep an eye on the City of Gold Coast website for announcements about future funding rounds. The Mudgeeraba Chamber of Commerce is here to help connect local businesses with opportunities like these — reach out to us if you'd like support navigating grant programs or want to learn more about how to get involved.
