Wollar Solar Farm is committed to working with local communities. We aim to do this by building partnerships and working collaboratively to achieve common goals that make the communities in which we operate a better place to work, live and grow.

Our Sponsorship Program is one of the ways we support organisations and initiatives that benefit our local communities and their future generations. Funding through this Program was provided over several funding rounds throughout the construction of the solar farm, with more than $40,000 in support being provided to a range of local initiatives and community groups that aim to improve the wellbeing and quality of life for residents in the region.

As we move towards the operations phase we will look to engage the community on the ways in which we can further support the region through a community benefit fund. Information on this will be updated to our website at a later date.
