Twice a year, Sapphire Wind Farm invites local community organisations to submit applications for a share of funding that can be used on equipment and infrastructure purchases, repairs and renovations, and programs and events.

The Inverell Pioneer Village is one of this round's successful organisations, receiving funding for the preservation of the George Devine Collection.

Mr Les Moulds, Secretary of the Inverell Pioneer Village Committee expressed his heartfelt thanks to Squadron Energy for the funding.

“The George Devine Collection is an irreplaceable treasure trove of historical photographs, memorabilia and equipment dating back to the 1800s. High quality display cabinets will ensure the Collection is not only visible but also protects it from potential damage, making it more accessible and engaging for visitors,” Mr Moulds said.
