Map of Funding Sites

A map of Tasmania with circled areas showing the sites of projects funded by the High Priority Infrastructure Grants. There are sites across the south, in the north west, and also in the northern area of the state.
Funding for the grant is sourced entirely from the landfill levy, returning funds back to the community. These funds are being reinvested into important resource and recovery projects across the state to improve the reuse, repair, collection, sorting, processing, recycling and remanufacturing of materials that might otherwise be wasted in landfills.
