Expression of Interest - ECO Certification and Climate Action Certified
How you can become ECO Certified and Climate Action Certified
Bundaberg Regional Council is offering local operators the opportunity to strengthen their appeal to high yielding, environmentally conscious visitor markets, by becoming ECO Certified and/or Climate Action Certified through Ecotourism Australia by way of a cash subsidy to offset the first annual certification fee.
Please submit your Expression of Interest by completing this online form. We will contact you within seven (7) business days from receipt of your Expression of Interest to advise the result.
Following receipt of your Expression of Interest you will be invited to register to begin your ECO Certification and/or Climate Action Certification with Ecotourism Australia. Ecotourism Australia will issue you with a tax invoice for the first annual certification fee. Once this is paid please submit your tax invoice and receipt to Bundaberg Regional Council for reimbursement of 50% of your first annual certification fees.
Local operators who withdraw from the certification process with Ecotourism Australia must return the incentive scheme reimbursement amount to Bundaberg Regional Council.
If you have any queries please contact Kate Giles, Eco Tourism Officer, Bundaberg Regional Council on 1300 883 699 to learn more about the benefits of Certification.
