The Saving Koalas Fund - Habitat Restoration Grants will support eligible organisations in their endeavour to protect and restore Koala habitats. The program will run over 3 years across 2022-23 to 2024-25.
The program will provide up to $7.5 million of grant funding to eligible groups and organisations for community-based tree planting events.
The objective of the program is to:
- support efforts to improve the trajectory of the listed koala (combined populations of Queensland (QLD), New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT)) through koala habitat restoration, protection and in situ threat mitigation.
The intended outcome of the program is to:
- improve the extent, quality and connectivity of the listed koala’s habitat and reduce local threats through delivery of on-ground habitat restoration and protection actions.
