Grants

---

 The Peri-urban Weed Management Partnerships (PWMP) program is a 2-year competitive grants program providing funding from 2025-27 to protect native plant and animal species from invasive weeds in Melbourne's peri-urban areas. 

 If you own or manage a waterway on your property, you may be eligible for a grant for many activities including revegetation, weed control and fencing. 

 Our Assessors will visit your property and discuss your project idea, the types of activities we fund and how much funding you would like to apply for.  

Weed control grants are available to help landholders control noxious and environmental weeds on private land. 

Eligible activities include:

• Hiring contractors. 

  • Purchase of herbicides.   

• Weed control aimed at control of high-threat weeds in areas of high biodiversity (in or near bushland, in biolink corridors).  • Weed control on land greater than 4000m2.  

 The Victorian Government funds the Victorian Landcare Grants to support Landcare and environmental volunteer groups and networks with on-ground works, education and capacity building projects that protect and restore our land and natural environment. 

 Project grants of up to $20,000 for activities to protect or improve natural assets such as native vegetation, native fauna, waterways, wetlands and soils. 

 The Greening Cardinia program seeks to improve biodiversity on private and public land, and conserve habitat for threatened species. All works and projects must be within Cardinia Shire. 

 The grant helps landowners and community groups control noxious and environmental weeds on property located in areas of high environmental value. 

 Weed control grants are available to help new landholders and community groups control Declared Noxious weeds on private land. 

 The Victorian Government is supporting the establishment of plantations on farms, to expand and diversify the state’s timber resources and enhance farm productivity. 

 The program aims to fund up to 200 hectares of revegetation projects over 3 years. Green Links builds on work underway to protect our iconic urban waterways from inappropriate development and complements the aspirations of Traditional Owners and the community for our waterways. 

 Each year we offer a series of land management grants that support the preservation of Manningham's natural bushland and the productivity of rural land. 

These grants are designed to help property owners with:

• tree planting
• weed removal
• pest animal control.
