Funding for bushcare

Pearl Beach Bushcare has become one of many recipients of over $18,000 in Australian Government funding for conservation projects in the region, according to the Member for Robertson, Mr Jim Lloyd.

Envirofund funding has been announced for the Mangrove Mountain and Districts Community Group, Pearl Beach Bushcare and the MacMasters Beach and District Progress Association which will "help restore, rejuvenate and revegetate our beautiful Coast environment".

"Community groups and individuals will have another opportunity to apply for funding from the Envirofund next year," he said.

"I encourage community groups and individuals on the Central Coast to apply for funding from the Australian Government Envirofund to help them undertake projects to restore and conserve the local environment."

Through the Envirofund, community groups can apply for grants from just a few hundred dollars up to $30,000.

Where the magnitude, complexity or public benefit of the project is such that additional funding would be beneficial, grants can be considered up to $50,000.

Applications for Round 6 of the Envirofund close at 5pm on Friday, February 18.
