I think the ALP threw in around $300k as well.
I believe the funds come from the Tourism SA coffers, the state government see it as a no-brainer to help ties with China and drive Chinese tourism into SA. It's why the Victorian government was so keen to get a Victorian team involved to they too could join in on the exercise.
It's also part of the thinking behind Sky City's investment in the casino / hotel precinct, they see the Chinese gambler looking to SA as a destination with our food and wine culture also attracting people.
