1. Background

The Queensland Government’s $518 million Advance Queensland economic plan is oriented to

creating an environment that fosters emerging and priority sectors with global growth potential.

As one of these priority sectors, Queensland’s superyacht industry plays an important role in

diversifying Queensland’s economy and creating jobs. The Superyacht Industry Development

Fund (SIDF) 2019-2020 has been created to enhance the contribution of eligible small to

medium enterprises (SMEs), not-for-profit organisations (NFPs), and industry peak bodies

operating in Queensland’s superyacht industry to the local economy. The SIDF is administered

by the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (the

department), and is a priority action under the Queensland Government’s Superyacht Strategy

2018-2023.

Applications for financial assistance from the SIDF 2019-2020: International Certification and

Accreditation Funding may be submitted online from Tuesday, 17 December 2019 (AEST) to

5:00pm on Friday, 14 February 2020.

2. Program objective

The SIDF supports fulfilment of a key objective of Advancing Queensland’s Priorities, which is

to create jobs in a strong economy, and aligns with the department’s Strategic Direction by

supporting Queensland superyacht supply chain businesses to:

• increase their participation in targeted international trade events through making available

matched funding to offset expenses associated with their participation, and

• enhance their prospects of winning superyacht contracts through acquiring internationally-

recognised industry certification and accreditation that support the adoption of ‘lean’

manufacturing and associated operating practices.

Support for Queensland SMEs, NFPs, and industry peak bodies operating in Queensland’s

superyacht industry is therefore available through two separate streams of financial assistance

under the SIDF:

1. the International Certification and Accreditation Funding (ICAF) stream, which aims to

facilitate SY industry compliance with relevant international standards and marina

accreditation1 requirements, and

2. the International Market Engagement Funding (IMEF) stream, which aims to accelerate

SME and NFP engagement with overseas markets and exposure to international supply

chain opportunities and is accessible only through Queensland-based SY industry peak

bodies.

These Guidelines provide essential information to eligible organisations seeking financial

assistance under the ICAF stream to acquire the necessary certifications for business operating

in superyacht manufacturing, maintenance, services, refit and fit-out industry-related supply

chains.

1 To be eligible for ICAF assistance, marina facilities are required to have designated SY berths.

3. Financial assistance

To be considered for ICAF assistance, an applicant must satisfy the eligibility criteria and

assessment criteria.

Financial assistance of up to $10,000 (excluding GST) in matched funding towards eligible

costs will be awarded to approved applicants. All approved applicants are:

• required to provide a cash contribution equal to at least 50% of total eligible costs, and

• permitted to apply for financial assistance from the ICAF for up to three certification

categories. However, the maximum amount an approved applicant can receive will not

exceed $10,000 (excluding GST) in total funding.

Section 5 of these Guidelines provides information on the eligible certifications and

accreditations, and eligible costs which can be reimbursed under the ICAF stream. Payment

of ICAF assistance will occur in arrears of eligible costs being incurred and satisfactory

evidence of payment provided to the department. Approved applicants will be required to enter

a funding agreement with the department with all funded activities to be completed within the

agreed funding period.

4. Eligibility criteria

• be either

• be GST registered with a valid Australian Business Number (ABN)

• be engaged in the SY industry supply-chain, or demonstrate the capability and intention

to do so

• be able to and commit to funding at least 50% of eligible costs and 100% of ineligible

and safety (WH&S) regulatory framework, and

• demonstrate a close and direct relationship exists between the application for ICAF

assistance and the premises in Queensland from where products, services, or systems

are produced or delivered.

Applications from the following entities will not be considered for funding:

• organisations acting as a representative for one or more SMEs

• SMEs with an associated entity that is certified or pursuing certification to one or more of

the eligible certification standards listed in section 5 of these Guidelines

• SMEs or NFPs operating for less than 1 year, and
