High Priority Infrastructure Grants - Round 3 recipients announced

​​​​​​​​​​​​​The successful recipients of the third round of the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Board's High Priority Infrastructure Grants have been announced.

Under the grants, a total of $10.007 million dollars has been allocated to support a range of infrastructure projects that will help the state transition to a circular economy and address priority materials outlined in the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy 2023-2026.

Individual grants between $50,000 and $500,000 were available for eligible projects that could demonstrate:

  • a clear improvement in diversion of materials from landfill
  • a clear improvement in the avoidance, reduction, reuse, repair, recycling, and recovery of materials in accordance with the Waste Hierarchy 
  • prioritisation of the Tasmanian circular economy, related end markets, and the broader Tasmanian economy

High Priority Infrastructure Grants Program funds are sourced from the landfill levy and reinvested to provide targeted support for important resource recovery projects across Tasmania that improve the avoidance, reduction, reuse, repair, recycling, and recovery of products and materials that would otherwise be wasted in landfills.
