Environmental Grants support local environmental improvement projects. They are open to all local schools, non-profit early learning centres and community organisations for projects that protect or enhance our local environment.

There are many types of projects that may be suitable for environmental grant funding. Council has an ongoing focus on climate change action and we encourage projects that help reduce carbon emissions and minimise waste.

Examples of projects that may be considered for Environmental Grants include:

• Energy saving initiatives such as solar installations or LED lighting upgrades
• Water saving initiatives such as smart sprinkler systems or water tanks
• Waste minimisation/recycling initiatives such as reusable plates and cups for canteens
• Habitat support such as clean-up activities on beaches or in reserves or bush regeneration
• Biodiversity projects such as small bird habitat gardens, bush tucker gardens or native bee hives, and
• Cooling your school through tree planting.
• Active transport projects, for example installing bike racks for student use.

The Environmental Grants are open to schools, non-profit early learning centres and non-profit community organisations only.
