Million-dollar milestone for regional WA initiatives

The Western Australian Government’s Horizon Power’s Community Partnerships Program has delivered more than $5 million in funds towards regional organisations following the latest awardship.

The government has delivered another $564,300 to support 72 community initiatives across regional Western Australia, marking a total of 560 initiatives supported since 2020.

This program builds capacity in regional and remote organisations to elevate communities across major mining regions in Western Australia including the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West, Goldfields, and Esperance.

Energy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson says the program has created a positive impact in regional Western Australia, supporting community initiatives since 2020.

“This program is focused on supporting organisations that have a strong community impact, ensuring that funds go towards initiatives and events that are accessible to many and contribute to the overall wellbeing and vibrancy of our communities,” Sanderson says.

“These partnerships are making a real difference, delivering positive outcomes and empowering communities across WA.”

The Community Partnerships Program provides up to $50,000 in funding support per partnership, delivering health and wellbeing outcomes in communities across Western Australia.

Applications for the next round of community partnerships will open mid-July 2025.
