With construction of the Sapphire Wind Farm now well underway, CWP Asset Management and its Consortium Partners; Vestas and Zenviron together with TransGrid are undertaking construction of a different kind through the Construction in the Community program.
Construction in the Community is one of a series of programs that will deliver long-lasting benefits to the communities surrounding Sapphire Wind Farm.
The program is intended to support local based organisations and community groups to complete necessary construction works through the provision of monetary grants and resource support.
