The State Government, through our Community Partnerships Program, has awarded a further $500,000 to support 60 community initiatives across regional and remote Western Australia.

  • More than $500,000 awarded in latest round of Horizon Power's Community Partnerships Program
  • 60 community initiatives will benefit from partnerships of up to $50,000
  • Over 620 community organisations and initiatives have benefited from targeted support since 2020, making a positive difference in regional Western Australia

Horizon Power's Community Partnerships Program has awarded $544,973 in funding in the latest round of the program, to support community organisations and events in regional and remote Western Australia.

The State Government, through Horizon Power’s Community Partnerships Program, provides $1.1 million each financial year to initiatives and events delivering health and wellbeing outcomes across the WA regional energy provider's service area.

The latest round supports a range of local projects, including cultural festivals, sports development, environmental stewardship, mental health, support for family and domestic violence victims, Indigenous empowerment and youth engagement.

Since 2020, the program has invested more than $5.5 million across more than 620 initiatives in regional and remote WA, demonstrating the State Government’s ongoing commitment to stimulating regional growth and creating vibrant communities.  

Supporting events across the state, the program is helping drive more visitors to our regions, increasing economic activity in the local economies.

Successful recipients include St John Ambulance in the Mid West, Broome’s Athletics Club and Netball Association, Hedland Men’s Shed, Esperance Wildlife Sanctuary,  Karratha’s North West Multicultural Festival and Kununurra’s Ord Valley Muster.

Applications for Horizon Power’s next round of Community Partnerships Program open on 2 February 2026.
