Climate Action Grants opening soon

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Climate Action Grant program opens on Thursday 13 July 2023. It will allow small businesses to apply for up to $10,000 funding to implement initiatives that will help the Mornington Peninsula reach its climate emergency goals.

The grant could be used for:

• • Projects that help reduce waste to landfill e.g., Sorrento Golf Club’s ‘Food waste dehydration system’ to process waste into fertilizer for grounds.
  • Projects that increase biodiversity and landscape connectivity e.g., Hickinbotham’s regeneration of native open woodland project
  • Projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions e.g., BFE Hire’s ‘Solar panel and battery installation project’.
  • Projects that increase carbon sequestration e.g., Southern Seagreens’ ‘establishment of a seaweed reproduction nursery (lab)’
  • Projects that empower our community to take climate action/encourage behaviour change e.g., Polperro’s ‘Cool Changes community education and empowerment program’
  • Projects that increase active transport – do you have a project idea for this!?
