The TPDF Funding Guidelines provide details for businesses applying for financial assistance from the program for infrastructure and product and experience projects that are to be completed by 30 June 2024.
A set of responses to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have also been prepared, along with a Project Implementation Plan template that needs to be completed and uploaded to the online application form.

The intended outcomes of the TPDF are to:
- Encourage development of new infrastructure and/or experiences that attract more visitors and/or lead to increased visitor length of stay and increased visitor spend, while also enhancing Canberra’s reputation as a destination.
- Encourage enhancement of infrastructure that will expand an existing tourism product.
- Build industry resilience in a post-pandemic environment.
- Increase the supply of new experiences to fill a gap in the market.
- Build innovative solutions to support operations through industry collaboration.
