AGL Hallett Wind Farm Community Fund
The Hallett Wind Farm Community Fund intends to provide funding to broad based community initiatives within the Regional Council of Goyder.
In 2024, AGL set aside an amount of $30,000 (excluding GST) for communities and/or community groups within the area serviced by the Regional Council of Goyder to support local community initiatives and/or activities. The AGL Hallett Wind Farm Community Fund forms part of our long-standing contribution to the region, totalling almost $1,000,000 since the establishment of the first wind farm over ten years ago.
The Fund is available to support a range of community needs including;
