Community Sustainability Action grants
The Community Sustainability Action grants are providing $18 million over six years to eligible community groups and individuals for innovative projects which seek to address climate change, conserve Queensland’s natural and built environment and protect our unique wildlife.
The program will support locally based, community driven projects which encourage real change in Queensland communities.
Up to $4 million will be allocated through targeted rounds in 2019/2020 to projects which support a range of environmental and heritage protection activities.
Additional funding of $250,000 is being provided in 2019/2020 to Queensland wildlife hospitals and wildlife carers to increase their capacity to care for sick and injured wildlife as a result of the recent droughts and bushfires.
