Water quality improvement grants

Applications are now open. Maximise your productivity with our water quality improvement grants. We can help you with funding to carry out gully and river fencing, fencing to land types and erosion control which not only improve your property but also benefit your wider community. Improving ground cover and keeping your soil on your property means your place will be more resilient during the dry season.

Funding is available for practices that reduce nutrients, sediments and pesticides leaving farms.

Sugar cane

Each year NQ Dry Tropics invites applications from sugar cane producers that improve their practices. Funding is available to help with these improvements.

Applications have just closed for this financial year’s round of funding. For more information on future rounds please contact our office.
