ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Welcome to the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (the department) online grant application service, for the Fighting Illegal Dumping Partnerships Program (FIDPP). FIDPP is the renewed grant program, previously known as the Local Government Illegal Dumping Partnerships Program (LGIDPP).
FIDPP builds local government capacity to undertake illegal dumping compliance investigations through the employment of dedicated Illegal Dumping Compliance Officers, the purchase of plant and equipment and the installation of signage.
The FIDPP comprises of two funding streams:
- Round 1A is for councils which have previously been funded under the LGIDPP.
- Round 1B is for councils which have not participated in the LGIDPP in previous years.
These Guidelines are for those councils which fall under the Round 1A category - Councils which have been previously funded under the LGIDPP.
Councils which received funding under the Local Government Illegal Dumping Partnerships Program are being offered the opportunity to continue the collaborative partnership with the department under this program with continued funding for employment of the equivalent of one (1) full-time dedicated Illegal Dumping Compliance Officer at $90,000 per annum for three years.
Please read the Fighting Illegal Dumping Partnership Program - Round 1A - Guidelines guidelines to understand the department's requirements including eligibility, before proceeding with your application.

NAVIGATING (FILLING OUT) THE APPLICATION FORM
On the left-hand side of every screen, there is a box which links directly to every page of the application form. Click the link to move directly to the page you want. You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application form.
SAVING YOUR DRAFT APPLICATION FORM
If you want to leave a partially completed application, press 'save' and log out. When you log back in and click the 'My Applications' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of applications you have started or submitted.
You can re-open your draft application and continue where you left off.
DOWNLOAD DRAFT APPLICATION
You can also download any application, whether in draft form or submitted, as a PDF file. Click on the 'Download' button at the bottom of the application navigation panel.
SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION
You will find a 'Review' button at the bottom of the navigation panel. You need to review your application before you submit it. Ensure that all fields and mandatory questions marked with an asterisk '*' are completed.
Once you have reviewed your application, you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel.
Any question marked with an asterisk ('*') is mandatory. Failure to answer these questions will stop you from being able to complete and submit your application form.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of supporting documents is possible.
When you submit your application form, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email address that you used to register with SmartyGrants.
If you do not receive a 'confirmation of submission' email, then your application has not been received.
ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
You will need to upload attachments to support your application. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, files up to a maximum of 5MB are recommended - the larger the file, the longer it takes to attach. You will need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file.
Remember - some requested document fields are mandatory. Failure to attach them will stop you from being able to successfully submit your application form.
If you are not able to attach a document, please contact SmartyGrants on (03) 9320 6888 for technical support.
COMPLETING AN APPLICATION IN A GROUP OR TEAM
A number of people can work on an application form using the same login details, as long as only one person is working on the application form at a time. Ensure that you save as you go. We recommend using a generic email contact for login rather than an individual employee email, to ensure it can still be accessed if an employee is on leave.
SPELL CHECK
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above, Safari, and Google Chrome) have spell check functions built in. You can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
