VGT Community Grants Program Now Open

The VGT annual Community Grants Program is now open for 2024/25. The Victorian Gorse Taskforce (VGT) with support from Agriculture Victoria offers funding support for community-led gorse control projects.

 

Community Grants Program Objectives:

  • Reduce the impacts of gorse on environmental, agricultural, and social values,
  • Strengthen community and stakeholder connections for better gorse outcomes,
  • Build community knowledge and capacity in managing gorse,
  • Promote best practice gorse management.

 

Funding

Community groups may apply for funding up to $8,000 for on ground gorse control works on private land. All participating landholders involved may receive up to $1,500 in grant funding and must match this with their own monetary contribution.

 

Eligibility

Grants are available to all Victorian Community Group organisations that have a focus on improving natural and agricultural areas.
