- Keep Australia Beautiful WA Community Litter Grants up to $10,000 open
- Total funding of $50,000 available for action against litter in 2026
- False Entrance beach clean-up opens grant program
The dramatic Shark Bay coastline has set the scene for this year’s community grants to tackle litter and preserve Western Australia’s natural beauty.
A clean-up at False Entrance beach has marked the opening of Keep Australia Beautiful WA Community Litter Grants worth up to $10,000.
Locals banded together to tidy up the iconic fishing spot including Perfect Nature Cruises, Shark Bay’s shire and community resource centre, four-wheel drive enthusiasts, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Shark Bay Resources and Useless Loop Primary School staff and students.
Keep Australia Beautiful Chair Elizabeth Carr AM said community-led action against litter was essential to safeguarding the environment.
“The name False Entrance came from early sailors who mistook it for an entry to Shark Bay but there’s nothing false about the spectacular landscape and the people who live in the area are joining forces to retain its untouched charm,” she said.
“Local knowledge is the best foundation for initiatives to protect Western Australia’s unique attractions and keep them pristine.”
Schools, community groups, local governments and small to medium-sized enterprises can apply for grants up to $10,000. Total funding of $50,000 is available.
The grants support projects which focus on correct litter disposal and reducing litter in marine areas, waterways, community areas and roadsides.
Previous successful projects include the City of Busselton’s The Dunsborough Litter Project, ABC Foundation’s Don’t Rubbish Country and Adventure Kids Entertainment’s Teddy the Turtle’s Litter Awareness Adventure.
Applications are open until Tuesday, 2 June 2026. For more information, visit Community Litter Grants | Keep Australia Beautiful WA
