No decisions have been made regarding Stream Two funding. Stream Two is aimed at innovative, solutions-based projects that are validated and have a full proposal and business case.
Stream Two Funding is expected to take longer as the first step in these applications is submitting an expression of interest, and it then takes time for the applicant to prepare the necessary business case.
We expect the significant proportion of funding will be committed to Stream Two projects later this calendar year.
