Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Applications are now open for Pacific Blue’s Sustainable Communities fund. Begun in 2019, the scheme invests in community initiatives supporting wellbeing, education, and sustainability.
Interested parties have until April 30th to submit their application, with community groups across Ayr, Brandon, Clare, Dalbeg, Giru, Home Hill, and Millaroo invited to apply for grants of up to $10,000.
Over 20 years, Pacific Blue has invested more than $6 million into community-led projects across the country, including over $500k right here in the Burdekin.
Recent recipients include the Burdekin Amateur Basketball Association, which received funding for new grandstand seating, and the Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club, which upgraded its first aid and office facilities. The Zonta Club also benefited from new technology to support their vital community work.
Domenic Capomolla, CEO of Pacific Blue, highlighted the fund as a way to give back to the community that plays a vital role in Australia’s renewable energy transition.
"We are proud to see the positive impact it brings to the Burdekin region.” He said.
“The fund channels the benefits of our solar farm into projects that create lasting social, environmental, and economic outcomes for the regions that support our transition to renewable energy.”
Interested organisations are encouraged to review the Community Fund Guidelines to ensure their application aligns with the fund's criteria.
