Held annually every March, this iconic national event encourages groups, organisations, businesses and schools to don the gloves and spend a little time cleaning up their local area.
Local not-for-profit community groups, organisations, youth projects and schools can benefit from a grant of up to $200 this Clean Up Australia Day.
We have allocated funds from the 2019/20 Community Grants Program for Clean Up Australia projects to ensure our community can take part in this important initiative.
Council’s grant could support groups to purchase additional clean up kits, pay disposal fees for rubbish collected, or provide a BBQ at a clean-up event.
