Keep Australia Beautiful Council (KABC) Community Litter Grants provide funding for projects that seek to change littering behaviour and work towards a litter-free Western Australia.
Each year a diverse range of projects are funded including community awareness education campaigns and equipment to help with litter clean-ups.
Grants of up to $10,000 are available for initiatives or projects that change behaviour, increase education and awareness or improve infrastructure to reduce and prevent litter, consistent with the KABC's Litter Prevention Strategy 2020-2025 for Western Australia.
