TIS 131 450At Transgrid, we are committed to supporting communities within our project footprint. We strive to create tangible benefits for energy consumers, our communities, and the environment as part of our commitment to building a sustainable clean energy future. Through the Community Investments and Benefits Program, we aim to address identified impacts and deliver meaningful social outcomes and benefits.
Community Investment and Benefits Program
The HumeLink Community Investment and Benefits Program is designed to ensure local communities share in the positive outcomes of the project through targeted funding and support.
A total of 22 projects have been funded across the HumeLink project footprint, spanning upgrades to recreation and sporting facilities, improvements to community and visitor infrastructure, environmental restoration efforts, and enhancements to local services such as childcare and public amenities. These selections were informed by extensive engagement to ensure they reflect local priorities and deliver meaningful, long‑lasting benefits for the communities involved.
With all successful projects now confirmed, the program is now focused on delivery—supporting the implementation of these community‑led initiatives to ensure they provide enduring contributions to the communities in the HumeLink footprint.
