Davistown Progress Association (DPA) is set to install solar panels on Davistown hall to ensure energy efficiency, thanks to an $8,500 grant through the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Program Round 8.
Association President Jenny McCulla said the solar panel installation would save the community money in years to come and be a valuable contribution towards being more energy efficient.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid popped into the hall to announce the funding and congratulate the association.
“I am a supporter of renewable energy and projects that aim to make our communities energy resilient,” Reid said.
“I know that with the addition of these solar panels, Davistown Progress Association will be able to reduce its overheads and carbon footprint.”
The Stronger Communities Program is an annual Federal Government grant opportunity.
It provides not-for-profit organisations with funding between $2,500 and $20,000.
