Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation

The Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation grants program seeks to assist community and government organisations to contribute to the ongoing sustainable management and stewardship of significant environmental assets and services in NSW.

The objectives of the program are to:

• Improve and protect the quality of ecosystems and environmental assets managed by community groups, land managers and stakeholders.
• Enhance the management of environmental assets by facilitating the development of environmental expertise and stronger partnerships between individuals, community groups, governments and industry.
• Provide an appropriate, effective and sustainable mechanism to deliver Government policy, priorities and outcomes.

For the 2020 Restoration and Rehabilitiation Program, applicants need to address the following immediate funding priorities:

• supporting threatened species recovery
• addressing climate change impacts on the natural environment – both mitigation and adaptation

Applicants must consider at a practical level, how their project will contribute to the delivery of either one or both of these immediate funding priorities. The extent to which an application addresses these priorities will be taken into account when assessing applications.
