Love Water Grants
The Love Water Grants are one-off financial contributions of up to $10,000 to help community-focused groups deliver water conservation, sustainability and education projects.
The purpose of the Grants is to promote water conservation through education, efficiency improvements and awareness in the Lower Hunter. The Love Water Grants aim to:
- Boost community groups and organisations to identify and solve water conservation issues through practical solutions and projects
- Inspire local schools, groups and other organisations to undertake activities that have a positive impact to the community, with environmental and social benefits
