Deadline: 7-Aug-22
Applications are now open for the Waste Levy Fund for Seed Funding.
This year, the Seed Funding category is only open to organisations to establish a resource recovery hub adjacent to the Otaihanga Resource Recovery Facility.
Council is looking expand the Otaihanga Resource Recovery Facility with an additional resource recovery hub. To establish this, they’re looking for an organisation to establish and run a resource recovery hub with a first focus on construction and demolition waste recovery. Ultimately the organisation will develop a site where residents can drop off their reusable or recyclable goods, and purchase reclaimed treasures. The site will be part of the wider circular economy network.
Streams
This hub should, in the long term, work to address all three of our priority funding areas and waste streams:
- organic waste
- construction and demolition waste
- projects that fill a gap within current waste services in Kāpiti.
Funding Information
A seed funding pool of $150,000 will be available to the successful applicant for three consecutive years to establish and run a resource recovery hub at Otaihanga.
Eligibility Criteria
Fund open to:
- trusts
- businesses
- organisations
- social enterprises
