Deadline: 25-Mar-22
The Government of South Australia is seeking appications for the Port Pirie Community Greening Grant Program 2022 to support of initiatives that align with the Targeted Lead Abatement Program (TLAP) priorities of:
- reducing the exposure of children and the wider community to dust and soil that may contain lead
- improving education and awareness on the importance of greening and other dust management initiatives.
Focus Areas
Grant funding can be used to deliver initiatives that control dust movement from community facilities by covering or sealing exposed areas, including:
- greening or sealing outdoor areas of community facilities
- greening or sealing publicly accessible spaces managed or owned by the organisations through, for example, plantings
- purchasing equipment, supplies (such as mulches) or infrastructure to assist in the delivery of the dust management project
- local community education, engagement or awareness activities and initiatives that reduce dust and promote greening local education and awareness
