  • Regional Tourism Accommodation Support Program Guidelines
    Regional Tourism Accommodation Support Program Guidelines REGIONAL TOURISM ACCOMMODATION SUPPORT PROGRAM GUIDELINES Program Summary The Victorian Government announced Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) on Tuesday 30 June and 4 July 2020, for specific postcodes and then all of Greater Melbourne and Mitchell Shire on 7 July 2020. Further restrictions on interstate visitors through border closures were announced on 6 July 2020. All these restrictions have resulted in a significant decline in bookings in tourism accommodation across Victoria. To ensure Victorian tourism accommodation providers (Accommodation Providers) are not adversely impacted by these Stay at Home restrictions and border closures, the Government has announced the Regional Tourism Accommodation Support Program (Program). The Program supports Accommodation Providers who are located in the 48 Regional and Rural Council areas, plus the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Frankston City Council, Yarra Ranges Shire, Nillumbik Shire Council, Cardinia Shire Council, Victoria’s six Alpine Resorts, French Island, Lady Julia Percy Island and Gabo Island. These Accommodation Providers will be eligible for a grant payment to cover cancelled bookings made by residents who are unable to travel due to restrictions. Eligible Accommodation Providers can apply to the Program for funding of up to $225 (ex GST) per booking per night to a maximum of $1125 (ex GST) per bookable offering if they receive booking cancellations from residents who are subject to Stay at Home restrictions and border closures (refer to Table 1) after these restrictions were announced (as detailed in Table 1), who had booked accommodation prior to the announcement of Stay at Home restrictions, and the Accommodation Provider has been unable to refill the cancelled booking during the period of Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions (i.e.
