Coastal Community Participation Grants
The Coast Protection Board’s Community Participation Grants support voluntary participation in local, small-scale coastal management initiatives.
The objectives of these grants are to:
- Involve and/or educate communities on coastal management
- Enhance community skills and knowledge in rehabilitation, restoration and conservation of the coast and marine environment
- Facilitate partnerships in coast and marine management
- Encourage environmental protection in the wider community
- Achieve practical management actions and on-ground works which enhance conservation values and/or tackle the causes of coast and marine degradation.
Please note, volunteer groups or organisations need to partner with a coastal council and have council agreement to administer the grant.
The Coast Protection Grant program is administered with the support of the Department for Environment and Water. Congratulations to the following recipient:
