With the last of Round 4 Reef Rescue grants going out the door this month, we are now gearing up for the final round of Reef Rescue to begin in January.

We are aiming to open submissions for Round 5 earlier this time so that projects can be completed and reporting done by the end of the 2012-13 financial year. The proposed application time will be from 30 January to 16 March 2012. Funding will go out to landholders in August 2012 with the objective of projects being completed by June 2013.

This is the last opportunity for farmers to apply for Reef Rescue funds, so landholders should start talking to Extension Officers now about potential projects. For more information about Reef Rescue and how to apply see our website http://www.terrain.org.au/programs/production/reef-rescue-wqig.html
