Grant Applications

The MNCJO Net Zero Acceleration Manager assisted councils with applications for the Federal Government's Community Energy Upgrade Fund (CEUF). The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) provided financial assistance for site assessments to be completed at specific council assets in the region. The results of these site assessments were then used to support a successful grant application by Port Macquarie Hastings Council in round 1 of the CEUF. 

Round 2 of the CEUF will open for applications in 2025 with both Bellingen Shire Council and Kempsey Shire Council considering applying. 

The Net Zero Manager has also been assisting councils with applications for the NSW State Government's Destination Charging grants.
