Andrew Robb, Federal Member for Goldstein, today congratulated Cheltenham Primary School on receiving over $40,000 worth of funding under the second round Community Water Grants Programme.
Cheltenham Primary School’s project will be funded under the $200 million Community Water Grants programme, which is part of the $2 billion Australian Government Water Fund.
Funded projects promote wise water use and increase community awareness about water efficiency and conservation, water recycling and water health.
“Cheltenham Primary School submitted an excellent proposal which once implemented will save 513,400 litres of water per year,
“I commend the Cheltenham Primary School community for their ongoing initiatives in water saving and conservation,”
“The staff, students and parents at Cheltenham Primary School have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the protection of our local environment and I am pleased that this grant will be able to continue their wonderful work” Andrew Robb said.
The third round of Community Water Grants are now open. For more information visit www.communitywatergrants.gov.au
