Conserving our Rural Environment Grant 2022-23

Closing date extended until June 5th 2022, 11:59PM

Note: This grant is suitable for large scale projects to improve environmental assets on rural properties, and not to be confused with the small core grant (now called Rural Land Management Grant).

The Conserving our Rural Environment (CoRE) grant aims to conserve and improve the natural environmental values on private rural property. This will be achieved through the support and funding of on-ground environmental works, capacity building and community engagement initiatives. Landowners or managers that are eligible can apply for up to $10,000 ex. GST to put towards a project that will enhance biodiversity on their property.

Eligibility

2. Must have an environmental asset present on the property. This could include, but is not limited to:
   • native vegetation, which could include woodlands, grasslands or riparian areas
   • property bordered by a waterway
3. Property with an overall goal to enhance the biodiversity of the area
