Our project in Douglas Shire was funded by the Australian Government through the Plastic Free Beaches Program.

​

The 6-month project initially operated from July - December 2021, and was open to any food retail businesses operating in the Douglas Shire, FNQ. We ran it as an extension to our Plastic Free Cairns program.

​

In January 2022, the project was extended thanks provided by the Qld Government.
