Congratulations to the successful recipients of the latest TasPorts Community Grant Program.

Launched in early 2023, this round of the Program offered grants up to $5,000 to support projects, events and initiatives that benefit local communities near our commercial and community ports.

"Now in its fourth round, TasPorts is pleased to be supporting 11 community-focused organisations and initiatives right across Tasmania," said Group Executive Governance and Corporate Affairs, Kate Dean.

"We partner with a broad range of community programs because it helps to create strong and vibrant communities," she said.

Successful recipients this round include:

"TasPorts remains committed to operating in a socially responsible manner to support sustainable economic and social growth for Tasmania," she said.

Applications for the next round of funding will open in early August 2023. Applicants will need to demonstrate their initiative's link to one or more of TasPorts' four key focus areas:

  • community engagement in port regions
  • marine safety
  • maritime heritage
  • marine and coastal environmental protection

TasPorts encourages all eligible organisations and community groups in Tasmania to consider applying.
