A NEW round of grants is open for projects which will protect Port Phillip Bay. Grants of up to $300,000 are on offer for large projects, and $25,000 for small projects. A total of $2.3 million is available for community groups, non-government organisations, Traditional Owners groups, research institutes, local councils, schools, or youth groups that apply.

State government environment minister Steve Dimopoulos said that the grants would “continue to ensure the long-term health of Victoria’s environment and waterways.” “Port Phillip Bay is iconic to Victoria and these grants will support groups and researchers who are working to preserve and protect the bay for years to come,” he said.

Since 2016 more than $13.9 million has been handed out through the Port Phillip Bay Fund grant program. Among the 187 projects funded include reef restoration, marine life monitoring, water quality improvements, and litter control initiatives.

Grant applications close on 18 April at 3pm. Apply at marineandcoasts.vic.gov.au/grants/port-phillip-bay-fund.
