The Tasmanian Government has allocated funding of $1.8m over four years in the 2018-19 State Budget for the establishment of the Landcare Action Grants Program to provide State funded grant opportunities to co-invest with farmers, Landcare, and other community organisations on practical on-ground works for sustainable agriculture and Rivercare type activities.

The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association (TFGA) will deliver the Program on behalf of, and in partnership with, the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE).
The Program is designed to:
- Improve landscape and riverine health, stability and resilience;
- Support enhanced land management practices to reduce erosion and sedimentation; and
- Assist the community to holistically manage natural and productive land and waterways across the landscape.
