Environmental Levy grants

Environmental Levy Grants assist volunteer environmental groups with environmental restoration and preservation works that protect and enhance local ecosystems and habitat. In this grant round, eligible projects must improve local, native ecosystems and habitat on public land.

Your group may select the public land on which your project will take place (with landowner permission), or you can contact Kempsey Shire Council's Strategic and Environmental Planning Team and they may be able to offer you a parcel of public land for your group to deliver the project. 

Prior to applying every organisation MUST present their project outline to Council to ensure it meets the requirements of the Program. Contact Council's Senior Natural Resource Officer via email at ksc@kempsey.nsw.gov.au

For example, buy tools and equipment for weed eradication. 

$5,000 is the maximum amount of funding a group can receive from an Environmental Levy Grant, with $20,000 allocated to this category.
