Community Conservation Assistance
Community Conservation Assistance (CCA) provides assistance to groups and individuals within Council’s Community Conservation Partnership programs to undertake environmental restoration or rehabilitation works.
This assistance allows Council and community environment groups to collaboratively deliver projects within priority biodiversity areas that would otherwise be difficult for groups or individuals to undertake.
Unlike the Community and Environment Grants, CCA is not a cash grant. Rather, Council will work in partnership with groups and individuals to deliver on-ground weed control and restoration works.
Eligibility
Those who are eligible to apply are:
- Habitat Brisbane groups
- Creek Catchment groups
- private landholders who are members of the Wildlife Conservation Partnerships Program (Land for Wildlife).
Priority will be given to projects that:
- are located in high priority biodiversity areas
- reduce the impact of invasive weed species
- rehabilitate and expand core habitats, including natural areas
- strengthen ecological and riparian corridors and linkages
- reduce erosion and sediment runoff into waterway.
The funding can be allocated for materials that are to be used directly in the project and are effectively ‘consumable’. The items include, but are not limited to:
- locally-native plants, tree bags, weed mats, mulch, water crystals or other materials designed to protect and assist plant growth
- products for soil stabilisation such as jute matting and coir logs
- weed control, including large weed tree removal.
How to apply
Download the Community Conservation Assistance fact sheet for further information on what projects are eligible and how submissions are assessed.
You must discuss your project with your Council program officer, who is available to assist with planning your application. The program officer may need to visit the site to provide advice, so allow enough time for this step in your application process.
Online applications for Community Conservation Assistance 2025-2027 are open from Tuesday 28 January to Tuesday 25 February 2025.
