The aim of the Rural Land Management Grant (RLMG) is to provide landowners and land managers with the support and incentive to conduct land management activities across their property.

The grant is offered at $300 per property plus $20 per hectare.

The RLMG is provided in the form of a reimbursement to the landowner via cheque following submission and approval of an annual application form.

The grant program is offered on a competitive basis as there is a limited pool of funding and, as a result, some eligible applicants may not receive the grant. There is a cap of $2,000 of grant funding per property per year.

What can I use the grant for?

• conducting weed control through the purchase of equipment or herbicide
• hiring a contractor to conduct land management works
• pest animal control
• purchase of indigenous seedlings for revegetation works
• erosion control works.

• Property is 0.04 hectares in size or greater
