Funding
Funding amounts range from $1000 to $20,000.
Funding round dates
The Environment Grants are open for applications from 24 February to 4 April 2025.

On-ground projects must be on Council land and have land-manager approval. Two recent quotes for goods and services over $1000 will need to be provided at the time of application.
An applicant should be an incorporated not-for-profit organisation.
An unincorporated not-for-profit organisation or community group may also apply, under the auspices of an incorporated not-for-profit organisation prepared to act as auspice.
