"There’s some fantastic projects in today’s announcement like the sponsoring of new equipment and uniforms for the Waubra Football and Netball Club, and we’re delighted to be supporting the Waubra & District Horticultural Society’s first ever ‘Daffodil & Floral Extravaganza.’
"ACCIONA has now provided more than $110,000 to local community and sporting groups within the Pyrenees Shire and the City of Ballarat since the program commenced.
