Tasmanian businesses are being invited to apply for a share of $550,000 in grants aimed at reducing emissions, enhancing resilience, and supporting the transition to a low-emissions economy. The Climate Change Business Innovation Grant Program targets small- to medium-sized enterprises with annual turnovers between $500,000 and $55 million.
Minister for the Environment, Madeleine Ogilvie, said the program is designed to help businesses get projects underway while sharing information and resources to maximise the impact of climate initiatives. She added that collaboration across the business community could set examples for others to follow and encourage innovation across the state.
Applicants are required to provide a cash co-contribution of at least 30 per cent of the approved funding, reflecting a shared commitment to project success. Projects supported by the program may range from testing new initiatives, expanding existing programs, to building local skills and awareness through education. Examples include community-focused active transport, citizen science monitoring programs, and initiatives that improve the resilience of vulnerable community assets.
Minister Ogilvie emphasised that the grant program allows Tasmanian businesses to lead the way in practical climate action while supporting sustainable growth. She expressed anticipation for the range of creative projects expected to emerge through the initiative.
Applications for the program close on 17 November 2025. For further details and to apply, businesses can visit recfit.tas.gov.au/business-innovation.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
