An overview of Councils contribution and available assistance to voluntary groups dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural environment.
Council recognises the significant contribution of voluntary groups in the care, protection and restoration of the environment. As such, it assists and facilitates local groups across the LGA, including Dunecare, Landcare and Coastcare as well as Progress Associations and environmental organisations. It does this through work program planning, provision of tools, equipment and stock, technical advice, training and provision of funding. Currently, there are over fifteen (15) volunteer groups operating across the LGA in a variety of projects, including weed management bush regeneration and revegetation. In addition, Council administers funding for specialist bushland regeneration contractors and work teams (Greencorps, Conservation Volunteers Australia, etc) in sensitive and important bushland environments including land that provides habitat for threatened species.
