Will applications from consortiums be eligible for funding?

Yes, regional groups of councils and partnerships between industry and local government are encouraged to apply if they meet the project eligibility criteria.

However, where a joint application is submitted by a consortium, a lead organisation must be nominated for the application. The lead organisation for the project will, if the application is successful, sign the funding agreement, receive the funding and assume legal responsibility for performing the activities and meeting the outcomes under the grant agreement.
