WORDS BROOKE GIBBS
WHETHER YOU'RE A community group, a business, a research organisation, or just someone with a passion for sustainability, this is your moment to shine.
They’re on the hunt for projects that contribute to one or more actions in their key strategies – the 2030 Climate Emergency Strategy, the Greening Darwin Strategy, and the Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy.
Whether you’re aiming to reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, or support local biodiversity, this grant could be the boost you need to turn your idea into reality.
Previous projects funded include HPA Incorporated’s mattress reuse and recycling initiative, giving new life to old mattresses, and Lakeside Drive Community Garden workshops based on the Gulumoerrgin seasonal calendar, connecting the community with the local environment and Larrakia culture.
Territory Native Plants held a Native Eco Fair, promoting biodiversity and native plants at Jingili Water Gardens, and Waste Energy Benefits introduced a reusable food ware and dishwashing setup at Parap Market to cut down on single-use packaging waste.
If you’re passionate about making a positive change when it comes to the environment, and need a bit of cash to help, apply now.
