As stated by Environment Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson:
Community litter grants up to $10,000 available for major initiatives or regional projects
Grants up to $5,000 available for local area projects
Applications are now open for the Keep Australia Beautiful Council (KABC) 2021 Community Litter Grants program.
Community groups, schools, small to medium-sized enterprises, and local governments can apply for grants of up to $10,000 for major initiatives or regional projects, or $5,000 for local area projects.
The grants, provided by KABC, support projects and initiatives that focus on changing littering behaviour.
Successful projects will help reduce litter at events, sporting and recreation venues, roadsides, waterways, and shopping and commercial precincts. They will also target the incorrect disposal of cigarette butts and takeaway food containers.
