We're committed to protecting, maintaining and enhancing our natural and built environment, and to promoting sustainable living. One way we do this is through our annual Community Sustainability Grants Program.

This program aims to support eligible not-for-profit community groups and organisations to:

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our collective efforts to achieve a net zero emissions future;
• Build community capacity to adapt to climate change; and
• Strengthen the long-term financial sustainability of community organisations.

Find out more about the types of projects that have been successful in past funding rounds by heading to Our Climate Action website.
