Healthy Habitat funding and support

If you live in Black River, Hervey’s Range, Rupertswood, Jensen, Alice River, Brookhill, Oak Valley, Julago, Nome and Alligator Creek you may be eligible to receive up to $2,000 to improve your property through our Healthy Habitat project.  If you’ve already received money from the program, you will be eligible to apply again.

We will fund on-ground initiatives such as weed and pest animal management, planting of native vegetation, fire management and more. Just ask us if your activity is eligible for funding!

We’ll also offer free property visits that can help you better understand your property, identify weeds and plants, and plan property management activities.

Program participants will receive:

  • a property report with recommendations
  • an opportunity to apply for funding
  • expert advice on weed removal, native plants, native animals and fire management
  • tips on identifying native plants and animals and improving native habitat
  • access to like-minded individuals in your local community
  • training workshops on weed removal, native plants, native wildlife or related topics

We encourage you to contact Dena on 4722 5746 or hhadmin@nqdrytropics.com.au to learn more about the program.
