Community Assistance Program Projects Environment Scheme
There are many ways that local residents and groups are protecting, maintaining and enhancing our natural environment and strengthening our community capacity to live sustainably.
Council's Community Assistance Program provides Environment and Sustainability Grants that are designed to support community-led environment and sustainability initiatives, and further the objectives of Council’s Sustainability Strategy.
