Key conditions
The project must be comprehensive and include all three components: product enhancement, productivity and sustainability. It must not have commenced before application. At least three roles are expected to undergo job redesign.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
The current STB Hotel Rejuvenation Fund page and factsheet remain live. The published support rates above are tied to applications approved by 31 March 2027; this is not stated as the fund's closure date.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is: A licensed hotel undertaking a major multi-million-dollar rejuvenation that combines guest experience, technology/process change and measurable sustainability improvements.
A weak fit is: A small cosmetic refurbishment or standalone equipment purchase without the three required transformation components.
