Land Management Incentive Program
This grant provides assistance for landholders, community groups & organisations to undertake on-ground environmental activities that benefit our local environment
Round 4 of the Land Management Incentive Program is now open.
AlburyCity recognises the important role that private land plays in the protection of Albury’s natural environment and local threatened species. We have listened to the community and developed the Land Management Incentive Program to help encourage and incentivise community members to carry out on-ground environmental works that:
• protect, create, and/or enhance habitat for local threatened species such as Squirrel Gliders, Woodland Birds and Sloane’s Froglet;
• restore local threatened ecological communities;
• protect important landscape features (e.g. creek lines, rocky outcrops, wetlands, dams, large old trees etc.); and
• improve connectivity across the Albury landscape.
Available Funding
There will be one funding round per financial year with opening and closing dates listed on the AlburyCity website. Grants range from up to $5,000 for individual landholders to $25,000 for community groups or a collective of landholders (grants outside of this value may be considered if discussed and approved with council officers). Applicants would be expected to contribute funds either through contributions or in-kind labour. Applications will be evaluated against the eligibility criteria and assessment criteria, which are weighted according to the project idea, capacity to carry out the project, location of project, environmental outcomes, and community participation/benefit.
