Did you know that a community organisation can apply for funding under Burdekin Shire Council’s Environmental Levy?
The Environmental Levy is dedicated to supporting projects that not only enhance the environment but also contribute to the well-being of the local community.
The Environmental Levy welcomes applications that will contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment. Whether it's restocking fish, managing invasive weeds, safeguarding the coastal ecosystem, or any other environmentally beneficial endeavour, the Council encourages proposals that promise significant environmental and community benefits.
One of the recent projects approved by the Council was to support the Burdekin Landcare in their tree planting. The Burdekin Landcare is a volunteer group that works to restore and enhance the natural environment in the region. They plant native trees and shrubs that provide habitat for wildlife, prevent soil erosion, improve water quality and sequester carbon.
Applications are evaluated by the Council based on a comprehensive set of criteria, encompassing the project's environmental and community impact, its potential to attract external funding, aesthetic qualities, and the crucial aspect of awareness raising.
