Mayor's Green Grants Program
Submissions are now closed for the 2011/2012 program
What is the Mayor's Green Grants Program?
- Would your school like to build an organic vegetable garden?
- Are you and your neighbours interested in planting a native garden to attract wildlife to the local area?
- Is your community group inspired to run workshops on sustainable living?
- Does your business have a great idea to develop a system for reducing energy and water use in your operations?
If you have a great idea to improve our local environment, then Kogarah City Council is offering a small grant to help you get started! The Mayor's Green Grants program aims to support community initiatives that address environmental issues such as:
- Waste minimisation or recycling
- Sustainable water use
- Saving energy or greenhouse emissions
- Improving local biodiversity
- Education for sustainable living
- Sustainable transport
- Fostering environmentally sustainable behavior
The Mayor's Green Grants are open every two years. Kogarah City Council will launch the 2013/2014 program in 2013.
