ENVIRONMENT GRANTS - Consideration in the selection will be given to the following criteria: 
  •  project site is within, or close to, the Norwood Payneham St Peters Council area. 
  •  the positive impact the project or initiative has on creating positive environmental change. 
  •  the simplicity of the project and its applicability for other groups in the community to be able to adopt it 
  •  the ability of the applicant to sustain the project without ongoing financial support from this grant

  •  establishing a recycling or waste minimisation process within the business or community group 
  •  implementing a food recycling, or donation system, to reduce food waste within a community organisation or school 
  • undertaking re-vegetation or conservation work on a landscape accessible to the applicant

  •  providing education to children, in the form of action learning, to increase environmental awareness 
  • undertaking a planting day to create increased canopy cover. 
The Rotary Club of St Peters may request access to the site of the project to observe progress or outcomes delivered.
