What we fund?

Applications are welcome for projects that meet the following landfill tax objectives:

* Funding is limited for object E projects. The Fund will only consider historic buildings and places of worship related proposals which fulfil public amenity objectives, ie where a significant improvement in the extent of the quality of open community use will result. Any proposal must demonstrate that additional benefit will be created. The cost of maintenance works will not be considered.

** Applications under object DA must clearly demonstrate that reasonable public access will be available at the proposed site. Applications that proposed no public access will not be considered.
