The Horticultural Netting Grant is OPEN
Aug 07, 2022 Posted by Brittany Cunningham
Delmade is excited about the Horticultural Netting Grant Fund which is now open. Details on the fund listed below are sourced from the NRE Website.
Overview
The program will provide a grant for up to 50 per cent of the costs to purchase and install permanent protective netting and associated infrastructure or throw-over protective netting (also known as drape netting) over permanent horticultural plantings.
Funding available
The Australian Government has committed $1.94 million for grants for primary producers of horticultural crops in Tasmania to assist with the installation of netting to protect their perennial crops from the impacts of weather and predation. The maximum grant is $150 000 (ex GST) per applicant to be provided on a dollar for dollar basis.
Eligible projects
Eligible activities must be directly linked to buying and installing permanent protective or throw-over protective netting and associated support structures to increase horticultural productivity, by reducing the impacts of adverse weather events or animal predation, and to reduce water usage.
Guidelines and how to apply
Applications should be lodged via the NRE Tas SmartyGrants website.
Hydralada
Hydralada lifting platforms are the safest, most efficient way to construct protective netting structures. Ready for every challenge thrown their way.
1) The trusted way to tackle tricky terrain.
Reliable on every surface and proven for safety, all Hydralada models are designed to drive at full elevation on unprepared terrain and slopes of up to 20 degrees. Each machine is stability tested and has a safe working angle specified.
2) Feet first with hands-free operation.
The ability to drive the machine at full height, hands-free is just one of the features that make a Hydralada machine so efficient. The operator can easily run steel cable, lay out protective netting covers and clip them to the structure safely with ease.
3) Small and nimble.
Hydralada’s thoughtful, refined design makes it ideal to work in tightly confined areas, without compromising lift height for accessing both vertical and overhead structures.
