About Stanwell
Stanwell is Queensland’s leading provider of electricity and energy solutions to the National Electricity Market, and large energy users along the eastern seaboard of Australia. We are one of the top 3 energy generators in Australia.
With 40 years of continuous operations with coal-fired power stations and renewable power assets, our experience in working with communities and partners to build, operate, maintain, and sell energy is being applied to the next decade of energy transition.
We aim to make a difference in the communities in which we operate.
At Stanwell, we understand that our ability to generate electricity is, in large part, dependent on the support of the communities in which we operate, so we work directly with community leaders to help them achieve the priorities which are most important to their regions.
Since 2012, we have also given almost $2.4 million to local community groups in the Rockhampton and South Burnett regions, to contribute to projects which deliver long-term benefits for our host communities.
About the Community Sponsorship Program
Stanwell is committed to supporting activities that make a genuine ‘quality of life’ contribution to the communities that host our assets in the South Burnett and Rockhampton regions.
The activities we support will generally be projects that are short to medium-term in nature or events that provide flow-on opportunities to the region.
If your project delivers long-term outcomes, such as benefits delivered through infrastructure projects, your application may be better suited for the following funds:
- Tarong Community Partnership Fund; or
- Stanwell Power Station Community Fund.

Disclaimer
Stanwell’s Corporate Sponsorship Program has a fixed budget for each financial year that must be balanced across multiple communities and activity types. This means that some applications will not be successful, regardless of their quality and/or suitability.
If your application is unsuccessful on one occasion, you can generally submit a new application for the same activity the following financial year. Alternatively, it may qualify for consideration under another Stanwell funding program, in which case you will be notified.
