About The Program

Thank you for your interest in the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation's Growing the Recovery of Organic Waste via Food Organic Garden Organic (GROW FOGO).

This program is open to the following councils to implement new or expanded, source-separated kerbside organic waste collection services to contribute to meeting local, state and national organic waste recovery and diversion targets:

  • South East Queensland (SEQ) Councils (streams 1-4)
  • Major Regional (R7) Councils (streams 1-4)
  • Regional Councils other than R7 Councils (stream 3 only).

To better understand your project and whether it aligns with the objectives of the program, the department is looking for key information including applicant and project details, governance and funding. Please ensure that all information is provided on the application form, including the attachments where requested.

Please read the program guidelines (Growing the Recovery of Organic Waste via Food Organic and Garden Organics (GROW FOGO) Fund), which provides detail of funding eligibility and other program information, prior to progressing with your application.

Please ensure that you are completing the correct application form for your council. This form should be completed by R7 councils, or regional councils (other than R7) that are applying for funding to achieve bin harmonisation only. 

I have read the program guidelines and are applying on behalf of an eligible council. * Required
