The
Sunshine Coast Council is lookingfor ideas that would not only improve
the public transport system but make it more sustainable. Ideas are
welcome from every sector of the community.
From 16 February, council is offering grants of up to $2000 for anyone wanting to implement a sustainable transport initiative that’s of benefit to the community.
So, if you’ve got an idea for a sustainable transport project, then you could be eligible for that Sunshine Coast Council TravelSmart Grant.
Grants applications will be accepted from 9am Wednesday 16 February until 5pm Wednesday 6 April. Businesses, individuals, schools, community groups and government organisations are all eligible to apply.
“The options are endless but the initiative must benefit the community in some way.
“This new grant is a trial and will hopefully generate some exciting initiatives that encourage more sustainable travel around the Coast.” said Councillor Vivien Griffin.
Applications must be made online at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and anyone wishing to apply must read the guidelines and frequently asked questions, available on council’s website.
If you do not have your own computer, you can apply online at Sunshine Coast Council Libraries—use of council library computers is free.
Anyone requiring further assistance can contact a TravelSmart Grants Officer on (07) 5475 7272.
