Grants Open | Native Vegetation Council

Native Vegetation Council has two grant opportunities for landowners in SA – the Nature Restoration Grant and the Heritage Agreement Incentive Grant.

Nature Restoration Grants

The grants are for large impact, longer 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. Round 3 is open to landowners in the regions listed below with the following funding available:

•            Northern and Yorke – $3.7 million

•            Hills and Fleurieu – $2.8 million

•            Eyre Peninsula – $1.5 million

•            South Australian Arid Lands – $1.1 million

The closing date for grant applications is 7pm, Saturday 8 November 2025.

Heritage Agreement Incentive Grants

The grants are for shorter term projects between 1 – 5 years that will enhance native vegetation and increase protection through a new Heritage Agreement. Applications are open to landholders across South Australia until 30 June 2026, but early enquiries and applications are encouraged.
