15  Community visitors grants—criteria for deciding whether to make grant
 (1) For section 82‑3 of the Act, the criteria that the Secretary must take into account in deciding whether to make a community visitors grant in relation to a project are as follows:
 (a) whether the applicant has adequate and appropriate experience, skills, infrastructure and resources to enable it to carry out its project;
 (b) whether the applicant can meet the needs of any people with special needs to which its project relates;
 (c) whether the applicant's principal place of business is located in an area that is not a major city;
 (d) whether all or part of the project is to be carried out at facilities located in an area that is not a major city;
 (e) if the applicant for the grant is a body that is directly associated with an approved provider—whether the association with the approved provider would, if a community visitor grant were made to the applicant, adversely affect the way in which the applicant would:
 (i) undertake its project; and
 (ii) meet the conditions to which the community visitors grant is subject.
Note: The Act specifies the purposes for which community visitors grants may be made, who may make an application for a grant and how an application must be made (see sections 82‑1 and 82‑2 of the Act).
 (2) In deciding whether to make a community visitors grant, the Secretary must have due regard to considerations of equity and merit in allocating money appropriated by Parliament for the purpose.
