Applications to the fourth round of a Murra Warra Wind Farm Sustainable Community Grant Fund are now open. 

The Murra Warra Wind Farm Sustainable Community Grants Fund gives financial support to promote social and environmental sustainability initiatives for the benefit of communities within the Horsham, Hindmarsh and Yarriambiack municipalities.

Not-for-profit groups or organisations can apply for small grants of up to $5000 or large grants of up to $20,000. 

The grants program is provided by Squadron Energy and part of the wind farm’s community investment program. 

Wimmera Southern Mallee Development, WSMD, manages the fund.

WSMD chief executive Chris Sounness said the program had been successful in the past with an enthusiastic response to the first three rounds. 

A total of 32 projects have been funded, focusing on environmental and sustainability initiatives. 

“The fund offers a platform to create innovative and sustainable environmental projects with immediate and long-term benefits for communities and the broader region,” Mr Sounness said. 

Applications close at midnight on May 15. All projects must be completed by June 30, 2025.
