Community Benefit Fund

The SEC Renewable Energy Park – Horsham Community Benefit Fund has now closed.
An assessment committee made up of local representatives will review and score all applications, with grant recipients expected to be announced by mid-October.

From 2027, operational phase funding will invest $3 million, or $100,000 annually (indexed), over the project’s lifetime to support community-led initiatives and positive long-term outcomes for the region.

We look forward to sharing the details about future funding when details become available.
