External Infrastructure Subsidy Scheme (EIS)
Subject to the number and value of applications in any round, Approved Authorities may apply for a subsidy of up to 50% of costs (ex GST) for:
- infrastructure charges, or
- external infrastructure works.
School and Project Eligibility
The Scheme applies to accredited independent school sites where an approval to develop a school-based capital project, issued by the State, a local government authority or other relevant entity (such as a utilities provider), requires new or improved external infrastructure or new infrastructure charge contributions.

Making an Application
To make an application, Approved Authorities may make a request for EIS funds via an application within the Enquire grant management system. This application process is separate to the application process used for the Australian Government Capital Grants Program (CGP) and/or the State Capital Assistance Scheme (SCAS).
Unlike CGP and SCAS where a single application point occurs each year, EIS applications may be submitted four times a year.
Legislation and Guidelines
For the administration of this subsidy scheme QIS BGA implements the Queensland State Government's legislation and guidelines.
