The Tarong Community Partnership Fund is now open and looking for their next round of community groups and projects to support.

The fund is particularly interested in supporting community projects that boost economic capacity, strengthen preparedness and resilience, and genuinely improve the quality of life in Stanwell’s communities.

Stanwell General Manager, Southern Generation, Mick Joy says that the Tarong power stations and Meandu Mine have been part of the South Burnett community for over 40 years, and in that time, the partnership fund has been an important part of our commitment to the region.

“The funding partners with our local community groups, to help them deliver real outcomes for the region and supporting initiatives that matter to the people who live and work here.” Mr Joy said.

“In the 2024-2025 financial year alone, Tarong power stations and Meandu Mine invested almost $400,000 across 73 incredible community groups, helping to bring their projects and events to life across the South Burnett region.

“The partnership fund supports our communities to shape their preferred futures, with a strong focus on the long-term sustainability of our host regions.”
