Two new grant rounds have been announced today from Green Industries SA:

Council Modernisation funding for councils to improve waste management and recycling services through the introduction of innovative measures to improve operational efficiencies, customer service and economic development benefits for the community, and Kerbside Food Waste Systems funding for councils to introduce and maintain sustainable and efficient household food organics recycling systems.

Council Modernisation funding grants from $15,000 to a maximum of $100,000 (excluding GST) per project are invited.  All applicants must contribute at least 50% of total project costs (match the grant funding) from sources other than the South Australian and Australian governments. In-kind contributions cannot be counted towards the matched 50% contribution. The guidelines and application form are available here.

Kerbside Food Waste Systems funding for South Australian councils is available on a ‘per serviced tenement’ basis. Green Industries SA will provide up to 50% of the costs, up to a maximum of $10 per tenement, with council required to provide a satisfactory performance report within 12 months of the system rollout. The guidelines and application form are available here.

Both grant rounds close on Friday, December 13 at 5pm.
