Land and Primary Industries Collaborative Projects Funding Program

Land and Primary Industries Collaborative Projects Funding Program: Call for Proposals 2025

The Land and Primary Industries Collaborative Projects Funding Program has been established to provide an impetus for innovation enabled by collaboration between Decarb Hub partner organisations and NSW-based industry, government or community organisations. The Program supports collaborative activities to advance the development and adoption of technologies, services or practices relevant to the decarbonisation of the land sector and dependent industries, with co-benefits for the environment, people and economy of NSW.

The Land and Primary Industries Network (LPIN) leads the Program as one of three innovation networks that form part of the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub, a key component of the NSW Government’s Net Zero Plan.

Consortia of eligible organisations are invited to apply for grants for collaborative activities in line with the LPIN Strategy and Workplan 2023-26 (included in application pack below).

Grants are made available for Scoping Studies in the range $10,000-$30,000 per project. Grants of up to $50,000 will be considered only where funding from the Grant is matched equally by a cash co-contribution by an industry partner.

Grants are intended to support collaborative activities, including seed projects to pilot a new technology, approach or partnership. Desktop and/or consultation-based reviews and assessments, and activities geared towards impact through capacity building and outreach, commercialisation, or policy innovation, may also be supported.

This program is funded by the NSW Environmental Trust and Partner Organisations of the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub. Successful applicants will enter into a project agreement with Western Sydney University, as the host of the LPIN.

Eligibility requirements, eligible costs, assessment criteria, and details regarding contracting, reporting, treatment of intellectual property, privacy and confidentiality are detailed in the Grant Guidelines (included in application pack)
