Community Benefits Programs
Overview of Community Benefits Programs
Our Community Benefits Programs give local community groups the opportunity to apply for funding to carry out projects of local importance in areas close to new transmission lines.
The programs are undertaken at Powerlink's discretion and fund community projects that deliver tangible and lasting benefits, and essential facilities and services, to communities near our new lines.
Any funding provided is separate and in addition to compensation that is paid directly to landowners affected by new transmission line easements.
To launch a program, we advertise in local media as well as on our website. Details of future Community Benefits Programs can also be obtained by emailing us or calling 1800 635 369 during business hours.
