Community Support Grants

Our Community Support Grants Program supports initiatives that deliver meaningful, long‐term benefits to local communities impacted by our exploration, development, and mining activities in Victoria’s Wimmera Southern Mallee Region.

Riverside Recreation Reserve

In 2026 WIM Resource was pleased to announce a significant community grant to the Riverside Recreation Reserve for the installation of an in-ground sprinkler system. This project will significantly reduce the manual burden on volunteers and ensure the grass arena remains a high-quality, sustainable asset for the many local groups who rely on it.

This initiative reflects WIM’s ongoing commitment to supporting locally driven projects that deliver meaningful, long-term benefits to the Horsham community.

Michael Winternitz and Kevin O’Brien, WIM Resource, hand over the cheque to Steph Martin, Riverside Recreation Reserve Committee of Management President, and Amelia Sudholz, Horsham Pony Club President. On horseback are Iris Sudholz, 16, on Blaze and Willow Martin, 17, on Sarge.

APPLYING FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANTS

Our Community Support Grant program remains open. Following community feedback, it will be amended over the coming months to better reflect your aspirations.

Grants will be assessed and prioritised, for applications that can demonstrate alignment with these key areas:

• Education and Leadership: Education, training, and youth development.
• Social Wellbeing and Health: Community health, sport and recreation, family, and youth support.
• Economic Participation: Local employment and local business development.
• Resource and Environmental Sustainability: Environment, water, and land management.

Applications are open to incorporated not‐for‐profit organisations, community groups or associations (with an auspicing organisation, if unincorporated), registered charities, educational institutions, and local community service providers.

WIM Resource is proud to support the local community through our ongoing grants program.
