Applications must include minimum one-third financial or in-kind contribution towards project costs from the applicant. For example, if your project’s total value is $9,000, you can apply for a $6,000 grant and must contribute $3,000 (financially or in-kind). The exception to this criterion is if you are submitting a hardship application.
Please outline in your budget if your contribution is to be financial, in-kind, or a combination of the two. In-kind contributions can include labour, project preparation, transport costs, and machinery costs. If you are including in-kind contributions, please state the expected number of work hours.

In-kind labour $27.50/hour

Mileage $1.04/km

Use of personal machinery (e.g. tractor, quad bike, ute) Up to $40/day
If your project includes funding from another source, this information must be included in your application. Once that contribution amount has been considered, your contribution need only be as outlined above, i.e. minimum one-third of the remainder.
Please include in your budget if you intend to engage a contractor. Quotes from contractors must be included with your application. Materials or equipment included in your budget require quotes or an example of the order submitted with your application.
