Funding urban waterway revegetation so wildlife can thrive – DEECA

Green Links is an investment to improve habitat, water quality, and provide cool green spaces for communities around our urban creeks, rivers and waterways. Applications are now open for funding requests between $20,000 – $350,000 dollars per eligible project.

Grant funding is available for projects that are undertaking targeted on-ground works for revegetation and associated activities.

In 2024, the program area has been expanded to encompass all urban waterways within the State of Victoria.

Projects can be located along or adjacent to any waterway (excluding marine areas) that passes through an urban area or receives stormwater run-off from an urbanised catchment.

Projects must be located on public land or land owned by Registered Aboriginal Parties. They should be adjacent to an urban waterway, connecting to the riparian, and/or waterway corridor.

Areas that connect waterway habitat to other significant habitat patches are also eligible where habitat value for waterway species can be evidenced.

Applications that involve partnerships with Registered Aboriginal Parties and/or community groups are highly encouraged.

Community tree planting events and/or other opportunities for local community involvement, for example friends, community groups and schools were also encouraged

Timing

Projects must start no later than June 2025 and be completed by 30 June 2027.

Grant applications close 5 December 2024.
