Our government partners

These partnerships with all levels of Government are critical in enabling Landcare Tasmania to operate and to support the invaluable work of our members and supporters.

Local Government

Many councils support Landcare groups in their municipality by covering membership fees and/or paying for insurance (which allows our insurance grant funds to stretch further):

Landcare Tasmania entered into a formal partnership agreement with Kingborough Council in 2017. Landcare Tasmania and Kingborough Council recognise they have mutual interests in community Landcare and that both provide complementary services and support to activities and outcomes in the municipality.

State Government

The Tasmanian Government directly funds the Landcare Assistance Program, which enables Landcare Tasmania to provide free group insurance to member groups. The Tasmanian Government is an active partner with Landcare Tasmania in providing financial support for our work. The partnership provides an invaluable contribution enabling us to fulfil our core functions and deliver vital services to our members. We deliver a part of the Landcare Action Grants on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE). Read about the Landcare Action Grants under our Funding Opportunites page.

Federal Government

Landcare Tasmania also has the support of the Australian Government through financial assistance provided under the National Landcare Program. This support contributes to our base level of operations, directly supporting activities such as our members newsletters and consultation activities, providing linkages with Commonwealth programs, facilitating cooperation with NRM regional organisations, and enabling our participation in initiatives such as the National Landcare Network.
