Environmental projects in the Lake Macquarie community are eligible for funding as part of the Lake Macquarie Environmental Education Grants Program. Lake Macquarie City Council’s grants program is designed to support community-initiated projects that improve environmental behaviour of individuals, groups, and the general community within Lake Macquarie. Community Empowerment Coordinator, Karen Mason, said grants of up to $3,000 are available. “We encourage all community groups and schools interested in developing or continuing an environmental project within Lake Macquarie to apply for a grant,” Ms Mason said. “Some of the projects that received grants last year were St Paul’s High School’s Outdoor Education Space and Garden and Mirring Aboriginal Corporation’s Restoring Land and Culture project.” Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability for the Lake Macquarie local government area. An information package containing a copy of the program's guidelines and an application form is available on the city website www.lakemac.com.au. Applications close Thursday 25 February 2010 at 4.30pm.
