- Use water efficiently,
- Shows care for water sources and the catchments that surround them, and
- Participates in decision making and takes action to manage water sustainably.
The Seqwater community grants program is an exciting way for us to partner with our communities and deliver projects in and around our waterways to build appreciation for and understanding of our most precious resource.
This year we also encouraging community organisations to focus on the following communities:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
- Rural and off-grid communities
- Young adults (18 – 25)
