The Melbourne Water Living Rivers program has undergone a review recently, resulting in a different approach to its funding governance and a refocus of program objectives from primarily capacity building to an outcome focus for waterway/bay health and multiple community benefits.
The Living Rivers fund is now a competitive bid process, whereby applications will be accepted between Monday 21 October to Friday 22 November.
The fund has $3 million dollars per year over the next 3 years, and we are accepting submissions for consecutive years. We will endeavour to provide commitment to successful projects by the end of November.
This is a fantastic opportunity for local government within Melbourne Water's boundaries to apply for the funding. For more information visit http://www.melbournewater.com.au/livingrivers.
