Community Benefit Fund
The Lal Lal Wind Farms Community Benefit Fund, established in 2017, is a key part of our commitment to strengthening our local communities. It contributes to local sporting clubs, community groups, schools and universities, culture and arts initiatives and other community needs.
Since 2017, we have provided more than $300,000 in funding to 22 community projects located within a 5km radius of the wind farm, including Lal Lal, Yendon, Elaine, Cargerie, Clarendon, Bungaree, Dunnstown, Mt Doran and Millbrook.
