What kind of organisations are eligible for funding?

Under the RMF Plastics Technology stream, your organisation and project must meet minimum eligibility requirements to be considered for funding, detailed in the program guidelines.

To be considered for Queensland Government support and funding under the RMF Plastics Technology stream your organisation must also:

• be a legal entity with an active Australian Business Number (ABN) or Australian Registered Body Number (ARBN)
• propose capital investment in recycling facilities and infrastructure to be located in Queensland
• have obtained internal approval to make the application, including approval to co-fund the project to at least 50 per cent of the eligible capital costs, before applying for the fund (note – for successful Queensland projects the funding ratio will be 25 per cent Australian Government, 25 per cent Queensland Government and 50 per cent project proponent)
• have the financial and technical capacity to deliver the project
• have a history of effective regulatory compliance.

The Queensland Government will NOT consider projects by local governments or universities/research institutions without a commercial industry partner under this program.

The applying organisation may be a business, a not-for-profit or non-government organisation. You may also be in the process of establishing a business for the purpose of launching a recycling project. Only one application will be accepted per organisation, including where you are the lead for a joint application.

Partnerships between industry and local government may apply, but one organisation should be identified as the lead applicant and administrator of the project. Individuals and sole traders are not eligible.
