About the Clements Gap Sustainable Community fund

 

Pacific Blue’s Clements Gap Sustainable Communities Fund shares the benefits of the Clements Gap Wind Farm with the surrounding communities, providing long-lasting social, economic and environmental value that goes beyond the life of the wind farm.

Since the commissioning of Clements Gap Wind Farm in 2010, the Fund has provided more than $700,000 to over 150 local sustainable projects.

Eligible community groups are encouraged to apply for project funding for up to $10,000 from a pool of $55,000.

The Clements Gap Sustainable Community Fund is open to community groups and  not-for-profit organisations that serve from:

  • Clements Gap
  • Crystal Brook
  • Fisherman Bay 
  • Merriton
  • Mundoora
  • Port Broughton
  • Red Hill 
  • Wandearah East
  • Wandearah West 

Organisations and projects do not necessarily need to be based in the fund area, but the proposed projects must operate in, and provide benefit to these communities to be eligible.
