Clean-up projects funding
A NEW funding stream that will provide grants of up to $50,000 for projects which encourage people to clean up their communities is now open for applications.
The State Government will deliver a total of $500,000 to eligible waste clean-up initiatives that tackle rubbish pollution, under the Community Sustainability Action (CSA) Grants, Litter and Marine Debris Clean Up and Prevention.
Grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded to on-ground projects which encourage communities and volunteers to participate in the removal of harmful litter from parks and reserves, and marine debris from beaches, creeks, rivers and wetlands.
Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the funding was vital to ensuring we preserved our natural environment and protect precious wildlife into the future.
“These grants provide valuable funding to community groups, not-for-profit organisations and First Nations groups allowing them to take immediate action to prevent rubbish and harmful marine debris from ending up on our shores and polluting our oceans,” he said.
“Every piece of rubbish we keep out of the environment makes a difference.”
Applications close 4pm on Thursday, 27 March. For more information, visit www.qld.gov.au/environment/management/funding/community-sustainability.
