Environment and climate change adaptation projects in need of a cash boost could be eligible for up to $30,000 worth of funding from Noosa Council.
Council is seeking applications for its latest round of Environment Project Grants and Climate Change Response Grants.
“Our Climate Change Response Grants are for projects that help achieve net-zero emissions and help our shire transition to 100 per cent renewable energy,” Environmental Services manager Ben Derrick said.
“They’re also here to support projects that build our capacity as a community to reduce our emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.”
Council’s Environment Project Grants provide funds for programs and events that positively impact Noosa’s local environment in support of Council’s Environment Strategy goals.
Both grants offer between $1000 and $30,000 in funding per successful application with applications for the current round closing Wednesday 19 March 2025.
“Council is continually impressed by the quality and variety of environment and climate change projects we receive funding applications for,” Mr Derrick said.
Recent examples of Climate Change Response Program grants recipients include the Solar for Strata climate change response program, carried out by Zero Emissions Noosa Inc, which included an online ‘how to’ manual for building managers, body corporate committees and body corporate managers alike.
Noosa Integrated Catchment Assoc. Inc was also an Environmental Project Grant Program recipient for its Girraween Nature Refuge Rescue environmental program, which included targeted weeding, replacement planting with native species and a public education and volunteer program.
