There is no funding provided by my Department in the form of start-up/re-opening grants for rural businesses including livestock marts.
The support my Department provided in 2023 was for existing marts to upgrade their equipment following the introduction of mandatory electronic identification (EID) of cattle. The Mart EID Upgrade Scheme closed on 10th November 2023.
