Bring your environmental project to life

Published on 03 February 2025

Applications are now open for Round 2 of the Environmental Sustainability Grant! Do you have an idea for a project that could make a positive impact on the environment? Frankston City Council is calling on local community groups and landowners to apply for Round 2 of the Environmental Sustainability Grant! Open from Monday 3 February, this grant offers one-off $1,000 funding to support initiatives that align with the city’s vision for a sustainable future.

The Environmental Sustainability Grant has two categories:

Landowner Works: for local landowners undertaking projects that help enhance biodiversity and protect native vegetation.

Community Group Projects: initiatives that engage and educate the community on sustainability. Applications close Friday 28 February. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Whether you’re working on a community-driven project or landowner works, this grant could help bring your ideas to life. A recent recipient in the Landowner Works category is using this funding to undertake revegetation works to enhance the biodiversity on their property. By increasing the tree canopy and adding mid- and understory plants, the works will provide valuable shelter, food, and habitat for native species, creating biodiversity corridors to help wildlife move between our natural reserves. It’s a perfect example of how the Environmental Sustainability Grant can turn great ideas into local action.
