Op-shop Subsidy Grants

Grants are currently on hold while we review the policy. More information will be available soon.

We’re making grants available to Opportunity/Charitable Shops to help cover their waste disposal costs.  

This is available for Opportunity Shops, those associated with a charity to which new or used goods are donated, for sale at a low price, to make money for the work of the charity. 

The grant will cover up to 20% of the shop’s annual waste disposal costs, capped at a maximum of $500. You can apply for the subsidy annually and at any time during the year. The grant can also be allocated retrospectively, up to the last 12 months. 

There are certain criteria to obtain a grant. It must: 

• Be used within Tasman and/or demonstrate benefit to Tasman residents 
• Be used for waste disposal costs 
• Align with the Nelson Tasman Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2019(external link)
