"Through the Urban Forest Fund, City of Melbourne offers a matched-funding grants program to support new greening projects on private property in the city.

A range of projects may be funded including new green open spaces, tree planting, biodiversity projects, green roofs and vertical greening, and water sensitive urban design projects. Grant applications are assessed by a panel of greening experts and community members who prioritise projects that will provide the most benefit to the community and environment.  

Each round of funding differs in scope due to factors such as available funds, city priorities, and joint-funding arrangements. When applying for an Urban Forest Fund grant it is important to refer to the current round guidelines."
