$1.3 million – Community Investment in the past 12 months
Over the past 12 months, we have invested more than $1.3 million into initiatives that deliver real benefits to our local communities. Our support spanned four key areas- Community Support, Community Welfare, Education, and Sport. In total, we awarded 180 grants and sponsorships to local organisations, helping to drive meaningful change where it’s needed most.
We focus on organisations that aim to improve community links and provide services that benefit the local community. Each dollar invested reflects our belief in the power of local partnerships and the value of long-term community wellbeing.
