WLRM Civil Construction Market Program Grants now open
By Adi Prasad, MRA Consulting Group
The NSW EPA has opened the first round of its $2.5M Civil Construction Market Program (CCMP) under the NSW Government Waste Less Recycle More initiative (WLRM).
The new grants provide an opportunity for eligible entities to reduce the amount of C&D material being sent to landfill by reusing and recycling resources in other NSW civil construction projects. The program focuses only on publicly owned construction projects in NSW (e.g. roads, parklands, storm water upgrades, buildings).
