The Native Vegetation Council (NVC)

The Native Vegetation Council (NVC) are pleased to offer landowners two opportunities to apply for funding to restore and protect native vegetation on their land.

• NVC Restoration Grants 2024-2026

Restoration grants are for long term (5 – 10 year) projects that will provide a significant benefit to native vegetation by improving condition and increasing protection through a new Heritage Agreement. As such, these grants are not available for areas that are already protected e.g. by Heritage Agreement.

• NVC Heritage Agreement Incentive Grants 2024-2026

The Native Vegetation Council (NVC) are offering Incentive Grants to landowners wanting to establish a new Heritage Agreement or expand an existing Heritage Agreement.

These grants will fund short term (1 – 5 years) projects that help to protect native vegetation and enhance its condition.
