Litter grants
Keep NSW Beautiful is again asking for community groups to apply for grants to clean up a space in their local area. Any community group can apply for a litter grant: youth groups, scouts and guides, surf clubs, pony clubs – not just your usual environmentally-focused teams. These are projects designed to connect groups with the world they live in and the community they love. Visit the keep NSW beautiful website or chat with Council’s Environment staff for more information.
