A new funding initiative will help environment and sustainability projects thrive across the Macarthur region.
Wests Group Macarthur has today unveiled a $20,000 grants program aimed at support small-scale, impactful projects.
Wests for the Future Sustainability Grants Program is open exclusively to community groups within the Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly local government areas.
Eligible projects may include initiatives that reduce energy or water use, improve waste management, introduce renewable energy solutions, or support hands-on environmental education and community participation.
Schools, P&C associations, early learning centres, community and not-for-profit organisations, and local sporting clubs can apply for funding from today.
Applications will close on May 1.
Wests Group Macarthur CEO Daniel Perkiss says Wests for the Future Grants Program reflects the Group’s commitment to supporting a healthy and sustainable future for the region.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to Macarthur, Wests Group Macarthur are thrilled to launch this new funding program, offering schools, sporting clubs and community organisations financial support to deliver their environmental and sustainability-focused projects,” Mr Perkiss said.
“With $20,000 available, we look forward to receiving applications and sharing the great stories around small but impactful environmental initiatives taking place across our community.”
The launch of the program comes alongside a range of sustainability initiatives already under way across Wests Group Macarthur venues.
These include the installation of 100kW solar PV systems at both Lakeside Golf Club and The Sherwood, with further solar installations in progress to support night-time equipment charging and the exploration of renewable energy opportunities within venue carparks.
In the past year alone, Wests Group Macarthur has achieved measurable environmental outcomes, including the planting of 180 trees, recycling 41 tons of cardboard, and improving energy and water efficiency across all venues demonstrating tangible progress against sustainability targets.
In 2025, Wests Group Macarthur also delivered an exciting biodiversity project, establishing a new home for the Macarthur Beekeepers Association at Lakeside Golf Club Camden.
