What’s available?

The WCMA made $5.6 million for on-ground works and training aimed at improving the Catchment’s natural resources for 2007. Click here to read the brochure.

The Western CMA has responded to feedback provided by community members to improve the way applications for funding are prepared and assessed.

As a result, ten programs have been established, each with its own funding ratio and a tailored application form to ensure funds are allocated to the projects that will deliver the best on-ground results. Click on the link below for the relevant guidelines/application forms. They are provided in either word or pdf format. If using word format, it is STRONGLY advised that you save a copy of the original document before you start completing it.

A series of workshops will be held around the Western Catchment, starting on 5 March to provide possible applicants with face-to-face information about the opportunities available and to walk people through the application process. Click here for details about the workshops.
