Cathedral Rocks Wind Farm has donated $2000 to Lower Eyre Peninsula District Council to assist with maintenance and upkeep of the Fishery Bay Road. Facilities manager John Fannin said the money had been allocated through the wind farm's community relations budget, and it was hoped it would become a regular contribution. The dirt road requires frequent grading and maintenance to ensure safe driving conditions.

"We saw the opportunity to help the district council maintain the road and keep it in good order for the general public, local landowners and employees of the wind farm," Mr Fannin said. "It's a way of helping everyone out." Council mayor Max Hill accepted the donation, thanking Mr Fannin for the contribution on behalf of the ratepayers and the council. "(The money) is greatly appreciated and will assist with extra grading during the year," said Mr Hill.
