BASS Coast Council is going into the property business – but the aim is not to make a profit.
The council proposes to set up a charity to administer its Environment Fund in partnership with Biodiversity Legacy, a not-for-profit organisation with expertise in creating community stewarded biolinks.
The aim is to leverage partnerships, donations and green investment markets to preserve biodiversity and fund strategic land purchases across the shire, bringing “inspiration and a sense of collective action”.
