Zero Litter to the Bay Program Guidelines

This document is a guide for the Zero Litter to the Bay Program, which aims to reduce litter and plastic waste entering Moreton Bay through improved stormwater management. The Queensland Government has allocated $35 million to fund the installation of at least 100 filtration devices on major stormwater drains. The program targets councils adjacent to or upstream of the Moreton Bay catchment, providing two streams of funding: up to $9.5 million for adjacent councils and up to $2 million for upstream councils. The guide outlines program objectives, eligibility criteria for applicants, and details on the application process. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration with local governments and stakeholders to enhance the stormwater network and prevent waste from impacting the marine environment. Key dates for the program, including application opening and closing dates, are also provided, along with requirements for project completion and reporting.
