Work with us to reduce carbon emissions across the Peninsula

Published on 12 August 2022

Achieving net zero emissions by 2040 is a huge challenge and Mornington Peninsula Shire cannot achieve this alone.

We need our community to work with us to foster behaviour change, share knowledge and reduce carbon emissions across the Peninsula.

Our third round of Climate Change Community Action Grants are open and close 12 September 2022. 

The program funds not-for-profit community groups, charities, schools, business associations, social enterprises and small businesses on the Mornington Peninsula who are working on innovative projects helping us reach our climate emergency goals.

The program offers grants of $1000 – $5000 for smaller projects and up to $10,000 for larger projects. See our guidelines for more information.

Applications must align to one or more of the seven summits in our Climate Emergency Plan.
