The Urban Forest Grants enable community members, groups and organisations to deliver their own project to contribute to the greening of the Town.

Urban Forest Grants are available for community led initiatives that contribute to the implementation of the Urban Forest Strategy (UFS) and progress the actions from the UFS Implementation Action Plan.

The Urban Forest Grants enable community members, groups and organisations to deliver their own project to contribute to the greening of the Town. This is an opportunity to create a lasting legacy that will influence the Town for generations to come.

Individual grants are available up to a value of $10,000 with the total annual budget amount of $25,000 allocated for the grants. Successful projects will need to be completed by the end of the coming planting season (June-September).
