Green building grants

Our funding will prioritise projects that:

• drive existing residential buildings to be resource efficient and achieve net zero emissions
• enable buildings in key sectors to improve their environmental performance.

We encourage applications from organisations that support Aboriginal and Torres and Strait Islander communities and culture, including Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and networks.

These are questions asked in the application that align with the assessment criteria used at assessment stage:

• Why is there a need for the project and what are the proposed outcomes?
• What is your experience in delivering projects?
• How does the project rate against the funding priorities?

For comprehensive information, including definitions and other details, refer to the grants and sponsorship program guidelines.
