The Victorian Serrated Tussock Working Party (VSTWP) is providing community groups and organisations with the opportunity to apply for grants to manage Serrated Tussock.<\/p>\n
Grants of up to $5,000 (GST excluded) are available to deliver a project which meets the priorities and criteria outlined in the guidelines below. The grants promote collaboration between community groups, local Municipalities and the VSTWP in the best practice management of serrated tussock.<\/p>\n
A key objective of the grants is to support community groups and organisations that have been actively controlling serrated tussock over a number of years.<\/p>\n
These grants provides a valuable opportunity for communities, particularly those experiencing heavy infestations, to reduce the impact of serrated tussock on agricultural, social, and environmental values and assets.<\/p>\n
To apply, the following conditions must be met:
\n\u2022 Be a not-for-profit community group or organisation
\n\u2022 Be incorporated, or be sponsored by an incorporated organisation. Permission from the sponsoring organisation must be gained before applying as that organisation will be legally responsible
\n\u2022 Have public liability insurance of at least $10 million, and at least $1 million professional indemnity insurance, or be sponsored by an organisation that carries such insurance.<\/p>\n
