The BTTP is providing a total of $6 million in grant funding over four years for field-ready bushfire technology to be trialled or piloted with NSW fire and emergency coordination and response agencies in an operational environment. The BTPP targets innovative devices/systems that are at a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6.

Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis, based on a merit-based assessment by an independent Expert Panel comprised of senior leaders with expertise in bushfire management and operations and venture capital, and end-user NSW government agency support of the application/s. Only applications that are supported by end-user NSW government agencies will be recommended for funding.

Further, the Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer is partnering with the Minderoo Foundation on the BTPP. There are strong strategic alignments between the Minderoo’s Flood and Fire Initiative and the NSW Bushfire Response R&D Mission. For consenting applicants, the Minderoo Foundation will assess applications at their discretion and may provide additional or separate funding through associated existing programs and/or collaborations that are aligned to their Fire Shield Mission.
