The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) submitted a Commonwealth funding application for 2022/23 detailing a three-part project focused on delivering specialised legal assistance and information services in environmental law. The application demonstrates alignment with government policy intent through EDO's proposed approach to maintain professional standards as a tier 1 accredited community legal centre while serving overburdened communities including rural, remote, First Nations, and pollution-affected populations. Key project priorities include providing free or affordable legal advice on environmental matters, assisting with policy and law reform engagement, delivering community education on environmental law, and achieving improved outcomes for threatened species and First Nations peoples' protection of Country and Culture. The document excerpted here comprises EDO's response to assessment criterion 1 on project alignment, outlining service delivery methodology and stakeholder engagement strategy, though the full funding amount and complete implementation details are not included in this excerpt.
