Grants are available to support improvements to water infrastructure through projects that increase recycled water use and stormwater use.
Victorian Water Minister Lisa Neville said the $14.1 million Integrated Water Management grants would run over three years to boost water security by co-investing in priority projects identified in regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne.
The investment will provide $11 million to infrastructure projects, with the remainder on feasibility studies and business case development.
The Integrated Water Management grants are open to applications from more than 100 organisations that are members of the Integrated Water Management Forums including local government, Traditional Owner groups, water corporations and catchment management authorities.
It includes a dedicated non-competitive, flexible funding stream for Traditional Owner groups as well as these groups being eligible for the competitive funding streams.
