Caltrop (commonly known as three-cornered jack) is a nasty summer growing weed with sharp spiny fruits. Ouch!

Grants for safer, greener, more active travel 
 

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure in partnership with the Motor Accident Commission are offering

grants to support organisations to deliver local projects that achieve safer, greener and more active travel choices.

These projects can look different for different groups. Projects can focus on improving road safety, getting people cycling, walking or catching public transport; replacing car journeys with technology, people doing things locally or using their car smarter.

The Community Road Safety Grants program is interested in new ideas and innovative, targeted approaches to reducing local road trauma and getting more people being active through walking or cycling for transport.
