2020 funding rounds
On 27 December 2019, the Queensland Government
announced that applications for the first round of funding from
its $500 million Land Restoration Fund (Fund) will
open on 28 January 2020. Through the Fund, the
Queensland Government will invest up to $100 million in carbon
farming projects in 2020, with two application intakes:
- Intake 1 – closing 28 February 2020;
and
- Intake 2 – closing 15 April 2020.
Purpose of the Fund
The Queensland Government website states that "carbon
farming is an integral part of [its] response to climate
change", and acknowledges that the Fund will help to
achieve the Queensland Government's policy of reducing carbon
emissions by at least 30 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030, and
reaching zero net emissions by 2050.
