Wattle Range Council is about to give $3,950 to four local groups in annual Canunda Power community financial assistance funding grants. A recommendation about the successful applicants was made on October 11 when Wattle Range Council held its monthly meeting in Millicent.

The grants are sponsored by International Power which operates the 23-turbine Canunda windfarm along the Woakwine Range.

The Canunda Power grants are for eligible projects and events which involve environmental improvement initiatives, the development and promotion of alternate energy sources and active community participation in healthy lifestyle activities.

Council has recommended the 2006-7 grants be awarded to a school, a service club and two community organisations. These council recommendations are now being considered by International Power.
