At South East Water, we don’t take community for granted.

That’s why we’re proud to be supporting our community and environment by making important community projects and initiatives possible. 

Our 2020 Community Grants program is now taking applications from community or charitable organisations for grants between $500 and $10,000 to support the health and liveability of the communities in our service area. 

In 2020, the program is open to community groups who: 

  1. Support the health and liveability of Port Phillip and Western Port bays
  2. Support the community in the areas of 
  • ​​Affordability 
  • Environment
  • Health and liveability 
  • Water security and literacy 
“We’re thrilled to be running our Community Grants program again in 2020. We’ve expanded the eligibility of the program this year to include more areas of community support for projects across our entire service region”
-General Manager Customer and Community Engagement Mikala Hehir. 

“There are so many amazing community groups in our region who are working hard to support our bays, environment and community, and we want to help them continue this great work – especially in what has been a tough year for many.” 

We awarded grants to 11 community groups in 2019 to support a range of community initiatives such as beach and bay education programs, equipment for life saving clubs, revegetation and garden classroom projects, a fun run event and a litter stopper app.

Interested groups are encouraged to learn more and make an application at southeastwater.com.au/grants 

Applications close at 5pm on Wednesday 14 October.
