Council’s Environmental Grants Program open for applications
Applications for Lockyer Valley Regional Council’s Community Environmental Grants Program are now open.
The Community Environmental Grants Program aims to support a healthy, sustainable and integrated natural environment within the Lockyer Valley through cooperative community projects.
Non-recurrent grants of between $500 and $5000 will be made available to schools and community organisations to undertake projects that will deliver solid environmental outcomes, depending upon availability of funds and the merit of project proposals.
A Council spokesperson said the Program focused on encouraging environmental projects involving education, management and conservation of the natural environment.
“Our Community Environmental Grants are all about assisting with environmental outcomes that contribute to sustainable practices in our natural environment.
“As a Council, we are committed to ensuring the region’s natural environment continues to prosper and these grants are tailored to achieve just that,” the spokesperson said.
The grants will be awarded to schools and community-based organisations in the Lockyer Valley that focus on:
- Environmental initiatives
- Environmental education
- Environmental management
- Environmental conservation
- Environmental enhancement
- Building capacity for long-term sustainability.
“Big or small, support is out there, and it can all make a difference.
“I would encourage all schools or community organisations with a desire to make a change in our environment to visit Council’s website and see what options they have available.”
Applications close on 15 April 2024. For more information, visit www.lockyervalley.qld.gov.au or contact Council on 1300 005 872.
