Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation Grants

The Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation program funds projects that contribute to the ongoing sustainable management and stewardship of significant environmental assets and services in New South Wales.

Applications to the 2022-23 round are required to address, at a practical level, at least one of the following immediate funding priorities:

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

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.

Two funding streams are available for Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation projects in 2022–23:

1. New Organisations - $50,000 to $125,000 for 2-3 year projects
2. Experienced Organisations - $125,000 to $200,000 for 3-4 year projects
