Johnstone Regional Landcare Inc received a $15,000 ANZ Seeds of Renewal grant for the construction of a Potting Shed, to increase capacity for volunteers to pot trees that deliver benefits to environmental initiatives in the Johnstone Region in Far North Queensland.

ANZ Seeds of Renewal is a small grants program designed to help build vibrant and sustainable rural communities, to ensure the ongoing prosperity of regional Australia.

The program demonstrates ANZ’s ongoing commitment to shape a world where people and communities thrive. It is built on two key tenets:

  • Vibrant communities are diverse and inclusive with strong social capital, where everyone can participate and build a better life; and
  • Sustainable communities innovate, expand, and create opportunities that will deliver demonstrable medium to long-term economic benefit to the community, contributing to economic sustainability.
