The lowdown on the Victorian government's Shade Grants program.
The Victorian Shade Grants Program is a state government initiative that provides an opportunity to fund the purchase of new or upgraded shade solutions in an aim to lower damaging UV exposure for the Victorian public. The community shade grant applies to portable shade structures such as tents, gazebos and marquees for sporting and recreation clubs, community and other groups using public outdoor venues.
We intend to share our experience to assist with many of the queries that we’ve fielded about this program in the past. Let’s get started!
Who we are and where we fit in to the grants program.
We are a dedicated Australian gazebo and marquee company that has worked closely with many of our customers since the grant was introduced. We provide assistance understanding applications and draft official quotes as part of the shade grant program. We have developed a range of effective sun shelters that are the highest-rated portable shade solutions to help protect our community. Which is exactly what the Victorian Government are attempting to do.
The victorian shade grant that applies to the portable shade shelters that we develop and that are covered under the program, currently only applies to community groups. The school shade grants program does not include portable shade.
We have included frequently asked questions below from our experience to assist you in beginning your shade grant application and research of appropriate tents, gazebos, and marquees for your club.
