Landcare Australia and Bupa have partnered to deliver the Healthy Cities Landcare Grants, as part of Bupa’s Healthy Cities Challenge.

This funding will support environmental community groups and organisations to establish native plants (trees, shrubs and groundcovers) across Australia in urban and peri-urban landscapes to enhance biodiversity and positive health outcomes.  

Each application must contribute to the establishment of native plants and host community events open to the public. 

Eligible Planting Sites

The Bupa Healthy Cities Landcare grant planting sites must be:

• In an eligible urban or peri-urban region;
• Within public natural open space areas accessible to the community (e.g. parks and reserves);
• Within 300m of an urban home, or easily accessible by public transport;
• In a location suitable for recreational physical activity such as walking and cycling; and
• Include a minimum of 500 plants.
