nylex opportunity - $200 million over five years

$200mil to use on water tanks and associated gear.
Great opportunity for Nylex.
Hope the Nylex strategy is in place to milk this one and get a fair share of the $200mil on offer.

Program open for applications from today – 30 June 2005.

Anyone on HC who are involved with community groups, sports groups, schools etc. should have a look at this link and get involved.
“Ask for the water tanks by name - Nylex”.
Sounds like an ad for AMEX.

The Australian Government's Community Water Grants provides $200 million over five years to help communities make a real difference to the way water is used.
This funding will provide grants of up to $50 000 to eligible community organisations to encourage wise water use. In some instances the grants can be combined to provide larger grants to community based non-government organisations.
The Community Water Grants aim to:
• promote a culture of wise water use through community engagement and awareness about saving and conserving water
• encourage best practice measures and demonstrate water wise solutions adapted to tackle local needs and problems
• provide the support and means for community groups to undertake on-ground projects under the three areas of activity: water savings-efficiency, water reuse-recycling and surface and groundwater health such as protecting or enhancing the health of rivers, wetlands and groundwater resources.

Now inviting applications for funding

The first round of grants is open for applications from 30 June 2005 to 4 October 2005 . Projects are allowed 15 months for completion.

It is anticipated that the second round of grants will be advertised in March 2006. You will be able to place your order for a copy of the Round 2 Guidelines and Application form through this web site in September 2005.
