MOYNE community groups are being urged to put pen to paper and apply for the current round of the Sustainable Communities Funding from Pacific Hydro. Pacific Hydro is making the grants available for a second year with applications closing on Monday, April 28. Applications are invited in the areas of health and welfare, education and training, sporting and recreation, the environment and arts and culture. Pacific Hydro's community relations manager, Emily Wood, encouraged Moyne region groups to get their applications in soon.
Last year funding went to a range of projects, Ms Wood said. The projects included the Bridgewater Surf Life Saving Club, Friends of the Great South West Walk, State Emergency Service rescue equipment and an indigenous arts project. Pacific Hydro's Sustainable Communities Fund provides funding for community groups and organisations which are making a positive contribution to their community.
The fund, which is based on a percentage of revenue from Pacific Hydro's Portland Wind Energy Project, calls for applications each year and will be available for the life of the project. Applications can be made online at www.pacifichydro.com.au/fund or contact Pacific Hydro's Community Fund coordinator Chloe Carpenter on 8621 6428.
