Grants programs

Victorian Government grants

The Victorian Government distributes a wide variety of grants focusing on integrated waste management and sustainability to Victorian local governments, businesses, industry and the community. These are provided through targeted programs delivered by Victorian government departments and agencies with funding from the Sustainability Fund.

The Victorian Government believes in the responsible reinvestment of the Victorian Landfill Levy.  That is why the Premier and Minister for Environment and Climate Change have confirmed the current priority for the Sustainability Fund is to support integrated waste management in Victoria. One of the major components of this investment is delivered through the Conserve, Invest and Save strategy released in 2012.

The following grant programs are currently being delivered by a variety of government departments and agencies with funding from the Sustainability Fund.  Follow the links for details on application guidelines and dates.
