- $150,000 of funding made available for the Nature in the City Grants, to enhance and improve the liveability of our urban open spaces
- $50,000 of funding made available for the new Environmental Volunteer Group Assistance Grants, to support environmental volunteer groups in improving their capabilities and capacity to engage in environmental stewardship.
These grants provide ‘an opportunity for the community to address environmental issues they are concerned about, restore and conserve natural places that are special to them, and engage other community members to do the same’.
