RIVERLAND not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for funding to bring their ideas for South Australia’s open-access reservoir reserves to life. 
SA Water’s Reservoirs Partnership Program provides funding of up to $10,000 to back community-led projects that inspire environmental conservation, active lifestyle, and community learning. 
The 2025-26 program offers not-for-profits an opportunity to connect their communities with South Australia’s environment and water resources, while encouraging outdoor accessibility, recreation and education. 
“Our reservoirs are truly unique spaces that bring together communities, enable healthier lifestyles and protect our natural environment,” Minister for Housing and Urban Development Nick Champion said. 
“These grants will give local groups the chance to champion innovative ideas and help more people get outdoors and connect with nature. 
“Enhanced access and programs at our reservoirs show our ongoing commitment to keeping all South Australians active, but also, with unprecedented challenges affecting recreational fishing, we’re taking strong steps to support SA’s rec fishing community.”
Applications close on September 21.
