Calypso Star Charters Local Environment Fund

We look forward to sharing stories of our initiatives and being able to support the local community in an environmentally conscious way.

Our 2019/2020 contribution will be $12,000.

Projects that we look to support include but are not be limited too -

Energy efficiency

Replacing incandescent lighting with LED.
Installation of window tinting and blinds to reduce air-conditioning.
Solar powered lighting.
Heat pump hot water systems.
Solar PV generation (will not be considered if energy efficiency hasn't been optimised).
Electric vehicles.

Environment

Planting of native trees as carbon capture and animal habitat, erosion or salinity control.
Composting and soil improvements.
Establishment of community gardens/veggie gardens.
Provision of seating, signage and trails to enhance the appreciation of nature.
Reduction in the use of plastic and increased levels of recycling.
Conservation of water and water efficiency upgrades.

Whether it's a compost bin, a move away from single use plastics, LED lighting, a rain water tank or seating made from recycled plastic, we look to support a wide range of local community groups, sporting clubs and schools.

Our emphasis is to use local contractors, recycled material and provide ongoing benefit. Collaboration to leverage other funding streams for larger project will also be considered.
