CitiPower Powercor Junior Landcare “Powerful Partnerships” Grants Program NOW CLOSED
The CitiPower Powercor Junior Landcare “Powerful Partnerships” Grants Program has been specifically developed to encourage environmental partnerships between schools and Landcare groups across the CitiPower and Powercor distribution areas of inner Melbourne and central and western Victoria.
The CitiPower Powercor Junior Landcare “Powerful Partnerships” Grants Program encourages the development of partnerships between schools and Landcare groups within the CitiPower and Powercor distribution areas to undertake local environmental initiatives and activities.
