Assistance now available - Community Grants Scheme (CGS)

The first round of funding of CGS for 2010 is now open.

Community based groups including local interest groups, environmental groups, and individuals are encouraged to apply for support. Previous CGS funded projects have:

• run community awareness roadshows to educate and engage the community to take action towards waste reduction, through fun innovative and interactive activities.



• assisted in the purchase of equipment to help improve and expand existing successful community recycling centres, and also training to volunteers through workshops.



• educated Indigenous communities about the importance of responsible waste disposal and recycling, through workshops, community cleanups and the provision of recycling trailers for ongoing sustainable recycling.

Funding limits for CGS projects are $20,000 per project.

Applications must be received by 5pm Friday 12th March 2010

No late submissions will be accepted.
