Applications open for coastal grants

More than $1 million in coastal protection grants will be made available to councils and community groups committed to restoring and preserving vulnerable sections of the South Australia’s coastline.

Applications are open for the Coast Protection Board’s two annual grant programs, the 2024-25 Coast Protection Grants – where more than $1 million will be available – and the Community Participation Grants, which provides another $40,000.

The Coast Protection Grants provide funds to coastal councils for work that helps restore, protect and manage the state’s valuable coastal assets and addresses climate change risks.

High priorities include projects that address erosion or flood risks, including foreshore protection and beach replenishment works.
