Applications open: Final grant supporting WA’s native timber

Friday 6 Sep 2024

Eligible businesses in Western Australia’s timber region are encouraged to apply for a share of the $3 million Timber Region Transition Grant. The grant offers businesses up to $250,000 in matched funding to support economic diversification and sustainable job creation.

Successful projects will demonstrate potential for positive economic impact, including job creation, enhanced regional productivity and sustainable outcomes.

Businesses that demonstrate at least 50 percent reliance on the native timber industry, can apply for grant funding without needing to provide matched funding. Any business within the South West which has received less than $250,000 from the Native Timber Transition Plan funding can apply for the Timber Region Transition Grant.

Applications are now open and will close at midnight on October 6 2024. Three workshops will run across the month of September in Manjimup, Nannup and Bridgetown to assist businesses with the application process. A Closure of Impacted Business grants program also remains open for timber businesses who do not wish to access the final Native Forest Transition round of diversification funding.

Learn more about the grants and available workshops or apply online now on the Native Forest Transition website.
