Lord Mayor Campbell Newman has expanded the Suburban Initiative Fund - please read on -
The Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiative Fund covers several different themes and this year was expanded to include the Lord Mayor’s Sustainability Grants to support the installation of energy and water saving devices to buildings, land and facilities owned or leased by non-profit community groups.
I was delighted to have been able to send cheques to two successful recipients of the Lord Mayor’s Sustainability Grants from The Gap Ward.
The first being for Ashgrove Memorial Pre-School and Kindergarten Association Inc. for the supply and installation of rainwater tanks to be plumbed into the existing toilet block of the preschool. This will reduce potable water use.
The second Sustainability Grant went to The Gap Pastime Club for a water efficiency project to install a water drinking found near the Club’s playing fields, and the replacement of 6 existing toilets with water efficient toilets and the replacement of taps in bathrooms, kitchen and bar with water efficient taps.
Congratulations to these groups, the Lord Mayor’s Sustainability Grants will enable Groups to support Brisbane in becoming Australia’s most sustainable city.
If your group wishes to participate in the 2nd round of grant applications, please contact me at my office for a letter of support on 3407 1900. You can also collect a copy of the grant application from The Gap Ward Office or visit this link and search for grants
