3rd August 2000 Community projects to clean up through new litter grants Environment Minister Bob Debus and Keep Australia Beautiful today invited all community groups in NSW to apply for a litter grant as part of the State Government's Litter Prevention Program.
Litter is a key area of community concern.
The litter grants will provide the resources that communities need to improve their environment. The Government wants to assist communities in preventing litter, rather than to simply clean it up after it has been thrown away. Community groups are encouraged to develop and implement their project in partnership with other relevant local authorities and organisations. The grants are part of the NSW Government's major Litter Prevention Program which includes a statewide advertising campaign and new litter laws.
