Scheme Four
Country Arts WA’s Scheme Four program is made possible by the State Government’s and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Creative Industries’ Royalties for Regions Creative Regions Program, a $24 million investment in culture and the arts. Scheme Four has a funding allocation of $5.7 million, and is one of five schemes being delivered through the Royalties for Regions investment.
The initiative is delivered through a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Local Government Sport and Creative Industries (DLGSC) and the Department of Regional Development (DRD).
Scheme Four has three pillars of delivery:
