GRANTS of up to $150,000 are available to coastal crown land managers, such as volunteer committees of management and local governments, to develop projects to improve coastal land.
The VicCoasts “coastal public access and risk grant” program is now open. Previous grants have helped fund boardwalks, access ramps, and foreshore paths around Victoria.
VicCoasts statewide coastal programs manager Angeline Charles said, “Victoria is home to some of our country’s most spectacular coastlines, and it’s important we preserve and protect them for future generations to enjoy.”
“The coastal public access and risk grants will support coastal crown land managers to identify, manage, and monitor risks along Victoria’s dynamic coastal environment. We appreciate the work coastal crown land managers undertake across the state to ensure Victorians can continue safely accessing and enjoying our beautiful coasts,” Charles said.
Grant applications close 1 November. For more information visit marineandcoasts.vic.gov.au/grants/coastal-public-access-and-risk-grants
