A record number of community groups across regional NSW are set to thrive with much-needed funding following Transgrid’s latest round of its Community Partnerships Program.

The 61 community organisations that received grants are located across the state, including Armidale, Coleambally, Cootamundra, Deniliquin, Hay, Junee, Moulamein, Tumbarumba, Uranquinty, Wagga Wagga, Wentworth and Yass.

Funding has been provided to emergency services, Indigenous organisations, sport and recreation clubs, preschools, health and wellbeing initiatives, show societies, progress associations and environmental groups.

Executive General Manager of Corporate & Stakeholder Affairs Maryanne Graham said: “Transgrid has been a part of local communities for many decades through our existing network and we’re also working hard to support the local communities in areas where new transmission infrastructure is under development to enable the clean energy transition.

“Not-for profit groups are the lifeblood of local communities and we’re proud to support their invaluable work with much-needed funding for facilities, services, events and activities which make a positive difference to the lives of local residents and leave a meaningful legacy.”
