Answer -

The Government established the Regional Cultural Fund (RCF) to ensure regional New South Wales receives its fair share of arts and cultural infrastructure and associated recreational and educational benefits.

The RCF will invest $100 million over four years to drive growth in arts, screen, cultural and heritage infrastructure for the social, cultural and economic benefit of communities in regional New South Wales.

Through the Arts and Cultural Development Program (ACDP), the Government provides support for regional arts touring, regional partnerships, the Aboriginal regional arts fund, and young regional artist scholarships. Additionally, under the ACDP, the Government supports people living and⁄or working in regional New South Wales as a priority area across all funding categories.
