No matter how big or small your hunting club, now is the time to put in your grant proposals to grow recreational hunting in Victoria.
The Sustainable Hunting Action Plan 2021-2024 (SHAP) is a $5.3 million investment by the Victorian Government that will deliver new programs to support safe, responsible and sustainable hunting across the state.
Grants will support the long-term sustainability of hunting actions that will maximise benefits for the environment, the economy, the community, and hunters.
The program will enable a collaboration and partnership approach to be taken between government, Traditional Owners, hunters and the community to deliver innovative new projects that will grow recreational hunting in Victoria.
