QWRAP Bidpool Funding

QWRAP funding is provided by the Queensland Government through the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy. Competitive bid pool funding is available for designated regional groups for work that contributes to building collaboration maturity. The designated groups are:

• RAPAD Water Alliance
• WBBROC Water Alliance
• FNQROC group
• WIM Water Alliance
• DASB. 

Limited funding may be allocated to other regions (subject to availability) based on demonstration of increasing collaboration maturity.

Bidpool

QWRAP funding is provided through a 'bidpool' on a competitive, first-come, first-served basis with priority given to work that promotes collaboration maturity (see Document 1 below). Regional coordinators or chairs are encouraged to discuss opportunities and develop applications iteratively with the LGAQ and qldwater. The Bid Pool consists of two components:

1. Funding for Joint Activities and Projects that build regional collaboration - a co-contribution in cash and in-kind is expected. The proportion of bidpool contribution to a joint activity may exceed 50% as a regional alliance progresses to projects demonstrating a high degree of collaboration maturity.
2. Annual funding for Regional Coordination to subsidise salary costs of a regional coordinator. The regional coordinator acts as secretariat and provides administrative and project management support to a regional alliance which  includes: preparation of funding requests, funding acquittals and project reporting.
