Helping local manufacturing gear up!


Up to $20,000 in matched funding to boost business growth and productivity.


RDA AHFKI is thrilled to launch our Hills & Coast Business Grant 2024. This strategic initiative is all about fostering the growth and sustainability of manufacturing businesses across our region of the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula, and Kangaroo Island.

Now in it’s 4th year, the Hills & Coast Business Grant 2024 reflects our commitment to promoting economic development and innovation within our local industries. This year, we are incredibly please to welcome Thomas Foods International and Fleurieu Milk Company as corporate partners. Thanks to their very generous support, we’ve been able to double the funding on offer, lifting our individual grants to amounts between $2,500 and $20,000.

With this substantial increase, eligible manufacturing businesses have a greater opportunity expand their business operations through the purchase of new equipment or other investments that will improve productivity and address key challenges hindering growth.

Apply for the grant

Applications should demonstrate a clear alignment with the grant’s objectives, highlighting how proposed projects will enhance productivity, stimulate growth, and benefit the local economy and community in the Hills, Fleurieu or Kangaroo Island.

Please read the Grant Guidelines for more information about the grant.

Applications close: Friday, 31 May 2024.
