Cash for Landcare

APPLICATIONS are now open to fund projects proposed by local Landcare networks and community-based natural resource management groups.
Grants of up to $30,000 per project are available for Landcare and community-based natural resource organisations, with $250,000 funding from the regional delivery stream of the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and $184,000 from the State Government’s Victorian Landcare Grants.
In 2015-’16, $452,000 was delivered to 77 local groups for numerous projects in the Port Phillip and Western Port region, including the Yarra Ranges.
Each year, the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority (PPWCMA) co-ordinates grants for community groups and volunteer-based organisations, so they can support the important work they undertake.
