Grant Applications

Noam Bardea, the MNCJO Net Zero Acceleration Officer 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 grant application by Port Macquarie Hastings Council in round 1 of the CEUF. We expect to find out whether this application was successful in the near future.

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

Noam has also been assisting councils with applications for the NSW State Government's Destination Charging grants.
