Raglan CFA donation
7 June 2024
Following on from the bushfires, SHWF proudly donated two refurbished laptops, one television and one printer to the Raglan CFA to enable them to train new recruits and volunteers at the local station instead of them having to travel into Ballarat headquarters for training. This donation allows the Raglan CFA more flexibility in training and the opportunity to grow brigade numbers.
The Windy Hill shack – demonstrating reuse of construction materials
8 February 2024
A Stockyard Hill Wind Farm couple who were recently retired, had some time on their hands and decided to make good use of the various materials leftover from construction and up-cycle packing cases, pallets, foam, tape and tarps to renovate their outdoor shack situated on top of a hill on their property.
Construction crews would put aside material they jokingly referred to as ‘shopping’ for the couple whereas the couple tended to refer to it instead as ‘treasure hunting’.
The Windy Hill’ is now a very comfortable area for family and friends to enjoy all year round.
Federal Government approval for Stockyard Hill Wind Farm
