Community Fund

The aim of the Community Fund is to financially support initiatives and projects that enrich and enhance the local community. Funding applications will be considered from all sectors, including but not limited to community development, the arts, education and training (including scholarships through organisations), health and wellbeing, sport, economic development, environment and sustainability.

The annual allocation of funding is a voluntary contribution from White Rock Wind Farm based on an initial $2,500 per installed wind turbine commencing in the first year of operations. The Fund will increase each year by 2.5 % for the lifetime of the wind farm.

The guidelines on how the fund operates is available here.
