Community Coastcare is part of the Australian Government’s $2.25 billion Caring for our Country initiative. It provides small grants up to $50,000 and larger scale grants up to $250,000 for coastal communities and organisations to undertake coastal restoration and preventative work to protect Australia’s valuable coastal and marine environment.

Supported activities include:

• Fencing, weed removal and revegetation of coastal habitats, waterways and wetlands
• Dune stabilisation and prevention of coastal erosion
• Creation of wildlife corridors linking remnant coastal vegetation
• Control of feral animals to protect coastal species, habitats and nesting sites
• Public access management to protect sensitive coastal areas
• Education and training to enhance skills, knowledge and community awareness in the protection of coastal environments
• Indigenous land and sea country planning and the passing-on and recording of traditional knowledge of Indigenous Australians, volunteers and communities.
