EIS Eligibility

To be eligible for EIS grants, an Approved Authority must:

• Be accredited and eligible to receive Queensland Government recurrent funds
• Have entered into a QIS BGA Participation Agreement.

Two Types of Eligible Projects and Help Notes

EIS projects can be separated into two categories:

a)  Infrastructure charges, which are derived from an Infrastructure Charges Notice given by the local council or another relevant entity (such as a utilities provider).

b)  External infrastructure works, which are those requirements for external infrastructure issued via an approval to develop a school-based capital project.

Further detail on the types of EIS projects eligible for the making of an application may be accessed via the EIS Eligibility Help Notes.

IMPORTANT- Any school based infrastructure projects INELIGIBLE for funding under EIS, i.e. those INTERNAL to the school site, may be eligible for grants under a Queensland Government State Capital Assistance Scheme (SCAS) or a Australian Government Capital Grants Program (CGP) application which closes in March each year.
