Funding supports key local campaigns

6 May 2026

Wandoan Buy Local

We’re proud of the opportunities we’ve been given to invest in local campaigns that support local businesses and vital community events.

Recently we were pleased to fund the Wandoan Community, Commerce and Industry Association’s (WCCI) Buy Local Campaign.

This campaign is all about championing local spending—encouraging everyone to support local businesses and the Wandoan community by choosing local shops first.

The WCCI’s collaborative approach to marketing means small businesses can punch above their weight, getting their names out there in ways that might be tricky on their own. By raising the profile of what’s on offer locally, the campaign not only inspires more people to check out local options but also helps local businesses stay competitive with bigger outside retailers.

To further support this valuable campaign, Powerlink proudly shopped local by purchasing a Weber BBQ to raffle off to participants in our Social Impact Assessment survey. A heartfelt thanks to the WCCI for pulling together this great initiative.

Looking forward to Wandoan Under the Stars

We recognise the value of events like Wandoan’s Dinner Under the Stars in bringing people together, and we’re pleased to help cover some of the costs involved in running this event.

This marks our second year supporting the outdoor drive-in movie experience for both the local community and visiting tourists to enjoy a night under the stars.
