Local community, sport and education initiatives in the Birregurra and Colac region could be set to benefit from a community sponsorship program from ACCIONA, the developer of the proposed Mt Gellibrand wind farm.   

Applications for ACCIONA’s 2015 Mt Gellibrand wind farm community sponsorship program are now open.

ACCIONA Senior Manager Iain Lawrie said it would be good to see a broad cross-section of community groups from the Birregurra and Colac region supported through the sponsorship program.

“ACCIONA takes pride in supporting local communities and our sponsorship program is one of the many ways in which we can form positive local partnerships.”

ACCIONA’s Mt Gellibrand community sponsorship program began in 2012.  In 2014 the company awarded more than $23,000 to support local initiatives including the Birregurra CFA, the Birregurra Preschool and the Irrewarra Beeac Football and Netball Club, as well as several other local groups.

Applications for the 2015 sponsorship program are now open.  For more information, please contact ACCIONA’s Community Relations Co-ordinator on 1800 283 550
