Minister Stephen Dawson has announced a $576,529 Lotterywest grant to BirdLife
Australia Ltd to conserve and enhance bird life in the Perth metropolitan
region.
Over a
three-year period, the grant will support BirdLife WA’s Connecting Urban
Communities with Nature project.
The
proposal will work with and engage the community, government agencies and the
not-for-profit sector to inform the planning of urban landscapes, provide
practical guidance and education for the public, and form an evidence base for
ongoing monitoring and impact measurement.
The grant
will go towards time limited salaries, professional fees and administration
costs, travel, resources and information technology to conserve declining and
threatened bird species in Perth.
Since
1992, the State Government through Lotterywest has approved 34 grants to
BirdLife Australia Ltd totalling $1,452,011.
